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 23% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.7/100, a mean average of 71.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.7.

A great album by this Aussie band from Brisbane. Passenger stands as one of my all time favourite songs.

Powderfinger's 'Internationalist' is a tale of 2 sides
Side A is all but perfect that crackles with energy and fizz with tracks such as "Hindley Street" , "Belter" "Passenger" and "Don't Wanna Be Left Out"
Flip the record and it's as if the energy has been sucked out and feel's languid in part's being quite the let down following the Side A high . "Trading Places" , "Private Man" , "Over My Head" , "Capoicity" and closer "Lemon Sunset" some how feel out of place and brings things to a whimper close
The 2018 20th Anniversary re-issue with B-sides and bonus tracks reveals a lost opportunity as there are a handful of tracks that could have and should have been included
I would recommend the following revised track order
Side A
No change - perfect !
Side B
Maxwell's Great Mistake (B-Side)
Polly (B-Side)
Celebrity Head
Ironical (B-Side)
Corner Boy (B-Side)
That Old Trick (B-Side)
Original Issue: Side A 100/100 , Side B 40/100
