Rating metrics: Help 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 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.9/100, a mean average of 76.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.7.

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