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 74.2/100, a mean average of 71.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 20.1.

This album does have a fun energy to it. It's got a sort of REM meets Smithereens vibe to it, albeit a little less serious and with a little less polish and production. I also hear some very distinct 80s arena rock-era Kinks influence which is a big plus for me.
That said, I found there to be some sameness that made it a bit of a slog to get through the whole album. This was especially true in the drumming.
Overall, I give it a 65 and place 3rd of 3 so
This band is severely underrated. White Soul is a very nice album; Jeff Lescher has a great voice, music is energetic but melodic at the same time. Follows in great tradition of Beatles and Big Star.
