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 80.8/100, a mean average of 79.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.3.

From tonagamu TOP 100 COMMENTER 08/05/2010 13:20 | #14063 | TOP COMMENT

After careful listening and consideration, I think this is my favorite shoegaze album. Loveless is great, but it just doesn't have that energy. Where Loveless is a brilliant wall of sound, Nowhere feels more like a warm mid-spring day with the wind blowing in my hair. For me, that means more in music than just having an awesome wall of sound. Great music should make you feel like you're in a certain place of which you are currently not existing in. And that's what this album does for me.

One of those albums where bonus tracks are an absolute must-have. Taste, Here And Now & Nowhere are 3 splendid tracks which add the icing on the top of an already incredible album. Best shoegaze album? Very possibly.
