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 25% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.3/100, a mean average of 74.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 7.9.

"I wanted the new La Sera record to sound like Lesley Gore fronting Black Flag," frontwoman Katy Goodman says in the press material for House of the Dawn. "I didn't want it to be another record of me sad, alone in my room. I wanted to have fun playing music and writing songs with a band." I'd say mission accomplished. The indie-rock fun of Best Coast is probably the most obvious point of comparison here, but in their best moments--for example on the title track--they achieve a level of rock virtuosity that pretty far surpasses anything Best Coast has done.
