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 is rated in the top 9% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.7/100, a mean average of 74.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.5.

I actually thought there were a few really gorgeous tracks here. Most notably Heart is a Drum. I don't know.. I don't think this is that much weaker than his "big" releases at all...

Another album that will most likely receive praise because of who made it rather than content. It just wasn't that good

I really like this album even at the frist listen, this album is so melodic, this for me is the second Sea Change. the last track "Waking light" imho is the best song on this album.

Beck never fails to underwhelm

Beck has two musical personalities. His radio single stock-in-trade is the slightly funky, somewhat silly track. And while I enjoy those to a degree, I find it tiresome over the span of an album. I much prefer the more somber, largely acoustic Beck. For some reason, he doesn't really mix the two, even though that's where he'd find his best album. But I'll happily take this collection of pretty songs.
