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 5% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.2/100, a mean average of 75.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.7.

In the mid 90s one still felt rock music hadn't exhausted its possibilities of progression. The amount of new, exhilarating stuff coming from Japan at this time certainly pushed that idea aside. In America, some of the most innovative rock was being labeled "math rock" and Polvo, with their own unique sound of shape-shifting structures and joyful dissonance, was one of these bands . Each song loaded with ideas, their off-beat explorations always marked by a sense of playfulness that never let them sound arid or boring.

Complex, unpredictable, dischordant and witt. This is what math rock sounds like. Every song changes like every 30 seconds: you've got used to the beat and you think it's cool but then they change it again and again, and they come back to that cool sound and then change it again. Being completely lost is so beautiful...

These guys are brilliant at combining discordant guitar noise and beautiful melodies. Very interesting stuff.

An inexplicably listenable discordant racket from a band that sounds like it's perpetually reinventing itself.
