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 68.4/100, a mean average of 67.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 67.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.3.

This one of the poppiest albums of Yo La Tengo with Did I Tell You as the absolute highlight. But there are enough weirder tracks like The Story Of Jazz included to make this album also interesting for real YLT lovers. The only thing that's missing is one of those longer feedback jams but who cares when Yo La Tengo quality is imprinted in every single track of this great album.
