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 has a Bayesian average rating of 71.7/100, a mean average of 70.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.1.

“I've made possibly the biggest update to my 2010s chart since its inception. Out with 14 albums and in with another 14. The chart is now more reflective of my tastes and my tendency to gravitate toward electronic music, whilst also managing to ween myself off an over-reliance on Pitchfork Best New…”

Tremendous and gorgeous second album from Youth Lagoon. Shows great evolution in his sound from the first album, while maintaining his musical identity. "Raspberry Cane" is as beautiful a song as you'll hear all year.

This album is just so incredibly interesting. It’s difficult to describe it. It took me a few listens to really appreciate this album for what it is, and what it is is modern psychedelic music. There’s just so much going on, it’s like watching a Cirque Du Soleil show, you’ve got a bunch of different things going on all at once and you need a few go arounds before you realize how great each individual part is and how well it all comes together. That’s what “Wondrous Bughouse" is. You’ve got the heavily reverbed vocals, you’ve got flange effect and phaser effects left and right, you’ve got all kinds of instruments doing different things, it’s crazy. It’s an album that you need to stop and listen to to really appreciate it, one of those albums that you turn up, tune out the world, sit down, close your eyes and just listen. There are moments here and there where the music isn’t perfect, but this is certainly a good album. One that you have to really listen to to appreciate.
