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 6% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.7/100, a mean average of 74.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.7.

a creation-fall-redemption narrative in an original setting with great lyrical twists and brilliant allusions. Finn can turn a phrase. And, damn the guitar player is great.

Are my 2 favourite lyrics from this wonderful album
impressive lyrics and unique style.
She said "There's gonna come a time when I'm gonna have to go with whoever's gonna get me the highest."
And with that, I fell in love with The Hold Steady.
