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 25% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.4/100, a mean average of 72.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.6.

This album is precious! She explained that it's Post's core, or Post magnified, exagerated. Brilliant. It gives you another perspective on the songs and the concept of Post. It avoids It's Oh So Quiet (it's a cover) and The Modern Things (it was originally written for Debut) and adds My Spine that is magical!
Fav songs are I Miss You (Rodney P's verse slays), You've Been Flirting Again (haunting) and Headphones.
