Rating metrics: Help 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 has a Bayesian average rating of 70.1/100, a mean average of 69.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 19.4.

This is a subject matter I have some difficulty relating to, but the songs are so good, the writing so effective, and the playing so engaging, it's impossible to not like, and try to understand, everything that is going on here. A surprising musicas achievement through and through.

I'm just going to chime in on what you BEA peeps are saying. I will just say that I find this accessible, yes, actually deliciously catchy in every way that could ever be good. This album gets the trans message across better than anything else in the media ever has in my opinion. I read Laura Jane Grace's story and totally sympathised with the issues faced by transgender people after listening to this punk rock epic. I love this album for being so ridiculously likable as a means of spreading that message to an old fart like me.

Oh fair enough. It just sounded like you were stabbing at the fact it shared the same subject matter.

I also deeply connect to I Am A Bird Now more so than this album, but both have their sheer breathtaking moments.


"You want them to notice
The ragged ends of your summer dress
You want them to see you
Like they see any other girl
They just see a faggot
They hold their breath not to catch the sick"

"You should've been a mother
You should've been a wife
You should've been gone from here years ago
You should be living a different life"

lyrics like these are brutally difficult to listen to, being trans myself, but comforting in a way. but yeah I'm not arguing others don't convey the subject better, but there is certainly more to this album than just a socially progressive topic. (Edited)
