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 4% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.6/100, a mean average of 76.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.8.

The best from Calexico! Love the atmosphere. I loved to hear this album when I was driving through Uruguay at sunset. I should rate it higher... (Edited)

There's a serious lack of cohesion here, it makes for really bad musical whiplash. The songs on here are actually really great, well written and well performed. But they try to do too much.
Magnificent album with the classic Black Heart!
