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 75.7/100, a mean average of 74.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.0.

Excellent songs all the way through, the benefit of having three strong songwriters. The music is edgy and full of musical surprises, definitely held my interest. It has noise and distortion in the right measure, and even some avant on Gaffney's songs. It's cool that it has a theme too, heartbreak/break-up album mostly. The female backing vocals are a nice touch, along with interesting vocal harmonies by the band. The album is deceptively nuanced musically, particularly for something classed as "lo-fi".

Good. Very good at times. I would have loved this five years before it actually came out.
