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 5% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.0/100, a mean average of 79.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 8.6.

This is certainly one of the most interesting albums I’ve heard so far this year. Marnie Stern is an excellent guitarist, really talented, leaning a lot on the sound of finger-tapping on the electric guitar which she features a lot on this album. However, unlike a lot of music that would feature fast guitar licks, this music is pretty experimental. Stern sounds like if Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs could play guitar really well. It’s cool music, really interesting structure to the songs, and I have to say, I’m a big fan of the guitar work. Some of the songs are a little hard to listen to, specifically the very first song, “Year Of The Glad", which really shows the inspiration that Yoko Ono has been to Marnie Stern, but there are a lot of good songs on here too, a lot of really cool music to listen to, it’s definitely worth checking out.
