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 6% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.9/100, a mean average of 79.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.1.

A rather underrated and seemingly forgotten gem in the Big Star cannon ‘Nothing Can Hurt Me’ (the double album) first appeared on vinyl in 2013 to accompany the Big Star historical Movie / Documentary of the same name (2012)
If you haven’t seen the movie, do yourself a favour and definitely do so as its a definitive document of the bands rise and ultimate demise warts and all
As for this album it’s essentially one for the fans with alternative versions of Big Stars best known tracks and a couple of extras to boot (“Better Save Yourself” and “All We Ever Got from Them was Pain”)
