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 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.9/100, a mean average of 78.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.6.

Louder than their early folk stuff, but still more acoustic than their most recent albums. Lyrically it's one of their weakest, but there are still enough good lines to make it worth your while. Love in the Time of Human Papillomavirus might be the most pretentious song title I've heard but it's the best song on the album. I started sobbing the other day when I heard him sing "My lungs are not the way that they should be." (not the same song but whatever)
