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 71.4/100, a mean average of 69.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.9.

*Shrugs*. I liked Beck's album. About as much as his "classics". Not amazing, nothing groundbreaking, but I dunno. Mellows me out nicely. Heart is a Drum in particular. Re-listening to Damien Jurado's latest record, it's hard to imagine that Beck's album tops all of these lists but Jurado's is…

Damien Jurado has always been a storyteller, but this album extends his typical one-off story-songs into a kind of concept album, albeit one with a loose structure and far-flung, often psychedelic, mystical themes. The musical style is familiar if you've heard Jurado's other albums: firmly within the genre of indie folk, but with flashes of Tejano and electric guitar freakouts. Perhaps more than on his other records, there's a clear presence of Jurado's own Christian worldview, but these feel more mythological and allegorical than theological or dogmatic. (Edited)
