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 11% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.5/100, a mean average of 73.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.4.

aka we love Joy Division / Smiths / Cure / The Church / John Maus in Russia. Pretty awesome album. Also check out their free download debut and their jangly indie pop follow up

I really like this album. It sounds like a Russian Joy Division meets New Order

Hermoso álbum moderno de new wave. Sonidos limpios que recuerdan a Joy Division, Talking Heads o a los Smiths. Si la voz del vocalista me gustara más, sería más generoso con este disco, pero muy buen resultado. (Edited)

A whimsy post-punk with rolling chords that never really builds up any traction.

I really like this album. It reminds me a lot of Joy Division/New Order but with a bit of a Russian twist.

Fantastic debut album from a little known Russian band. So glad I found this band's music. 'Ship' is a highlight - great track!
