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 15% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.2/100, a mean average of 74.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.2.

“Two albums of 2014 I listened to: An album I already know/own: In hindsight I would call this album a classic, not because this album showed something new because there are many references to older bands like Velvet Underground, Wire and Pavement/The Fall. just because it set the standard for many…”

“I am trying the Tarika Blue album. And my god this is some divine stuff. Probably will have this in my greatest charts. Will get in the decade charts for the 70's as well as the year it came out. I thank you for this pick. Glad you enjoyed it that much! I had listened to Creep On Creepin' On some…”

Brilliant production. Ticks all the right boxes sound wise for me. Everything just sounds great. Some good writing, atmosphere and vocals. What's not to like?

It's little wonder that this album garnered so much attention - it's fecking great. For all its surf-rock tropes and bluesy-folksy borrowings, it's quite a one-off. I could quite happily live in this album.

Best track: Bring Me Simple Men. Music to listen to when you're getting your revenge on a cowboy.

I love this album. It's got a really creepy, seedy atmosphere with some beautiful instrumentation. Hot Dreams is also one of my favorite songs this year.
