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 13% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.3/100, a mean average of 76.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 6.3.

My interest was piqued by "rocky took a lover" (and not because that's kind of my name). I like the opening lines of that song: "He said 'I wanna shine in the eye of Orion / But I drove my soul through the Black Hole!' / She said 'What a wonderful way to wake me ". There are a few off-kilter ruminations on religion like "if there is a god, then why is my ass the perfect height for kicking?" (in the same "rocky" song) and similar musings in eve, the apple of my eye and my first born for a song in which we hear that a song worth singing is worth giving up one's first born.
The peak of Bell X1's powers - combining the lyrical strength of Music in Mouth with a stronger musical performance.
