Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings)
This album is rated in the top 4% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.7/100, a mean average of 76.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.5.

Shortlisted for album of the year at the 1993 Mercury Prize. The winner was the self titled album by Suede
More multitracked guitars, anyway they're bright and I like them. And you have to respect a band with a full-time cellist. This has been called a template for the Britpop subgenre, so I guess cello is going to be a common feature moving forward. Add nice percussion touches and literate lyrics. Very enjoyable classic britpop album.

A good pop album is in dire need, thanks a lot for this one.

A real surprise. Good enough to listen to twice in the same day.
