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 15% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.3/100, a mean average of 75.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.2.

Released 12 years after her snotty and bratty debut "Exile In Guyville", the 2005 release by Liz Phair shows the singer/songwriter demonstrating new maturity and embracing motherhood. Gone (mostly) are the caustic lyrics, replaced instead with celebrations of "Somebody's Miracle" - one supposes Phair is appreciating her offspring. While not as rousing as her debut, Phair does still have skills with melody and words. The polish of this production undercuts Phair's indie/garage band sound.
