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 7% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.4/100, a mean average of 75.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.4.

The Kills don't like the description of Garage Rock, but I think it's a fitting description. They're kind of like The White Stripes, but the vocals are female (Alison Mosshart aka VV) rather than male, and the male half of the duo, Jamie Hince (aka Hotel) plays all of the instruments.
Favorite songs on this album: Sour Cherry (awesome beat); What New York Used To Be; U.R.A. Fever; Last Day Of Magic; Alphabet Pony. There's not a song I don't like.

So raw. I used to blast this for hours on end. I wish the kills still had the same kind of magic that's on this album.
it's definitely one of the best albums in 2008. the way she sings is perfectly fitted with the guitar distortions

Just Rock and Roll dans les tonalités de White Stripes. Mon préféré avec Tape Song.
Cool
