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 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 80.7/100, a mean average of 79.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.5.

Some duds, some great songs. Definitely worth a listen just for songs like Never Ending Math Equation and Baby Blue Sedan
This was my first modest mouse album and I didn't realize it was a collection of leftover tracks. I actually think it's better than their official album Strangers to ourselves

In all honesty, I think if Edit The Sad Parts was on this album... it might've made my top ten.

B Sides and collectables release worth checking out

Shows how strong Modest Mouse's output is, when a collection a B-Sides is stronger than most other stuff coming out. Almost made my chart, and it's leftovers. Modest Mouse are brilliant.

Modest Mouse's leftovers are better than the "real" albums of 95% of the artists out there.
