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 6% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.5/100, a mean average of 74.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.7.

“Just finished up: And now: Such great and underrated albums. Seeing these guys tonight... I don't usually like to saturate things this way -- when I'm seeing a band, I tend to avoid their music for a little while beforehand so that it'll be totally fresh when I'm there, but whatever. I'm pumped.”

A true favorite of mine. I think Mean Everything To Nothing is Andy Hull at his most consistent and overall powerful as a songwriter so far. I enjoy each of Manchester's albums, some more than others, but this is the most cohesive with the best individual tracks.

The River, Shake It Out, I Can Feel A Hot One, and Pride are prime examples of how powerful Manchester's arrangements can be. If you don't feel uplifted by the layered vocal harmony in the second chorus of I've Got Friends, I don't know how to help you.

Truly great rock album. Maybe its not the greatest album of all time, but it's certainly one of my favorites.

Shake It Out... I've Got Friends... I Cant Feel A Hot One... Everything To Nothing... The River...

This is one amazing album with a crazy-good tracklist. And it's not just a great tracklist, they're very cohesive as well. Edges out Simple Math by just a little, for me.

This album has a very outstanding beginning and end, but it does drag on a bit too much in the middle, making it the worst of the three Manchester Orchestra records (though they're all great).
