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 has a Bayesian average rating of 70.5/100, a mean average of 70.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.3.

"In the lion, I was holidaying as a vegan / I was eaten by a so sophisticated animal / We went walking by the slopes of Kilimanjaro / When the sparrow had to light a match to make the waterfall / In the water, there's a price in heating by the fire / But in the fire, there's a heat to melt the cage around your soul." So sings Alexander Ebert on "In the Lion," my favorite track on this album, which encapsulates both the love of natural landscapes and the raw passion for living that make Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros such a compelling band for me. This release isn't quite as strong as Up from Below or Here, but it's still among the decade's best.
