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 5% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.2/100, a mean average of 75.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.8.

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.

"She drove it like she stole it. She stole it fast and with a multitude of casualties" (Multitude of Causality's)

And

"She's got blue black ink and it's scratched into her lower back .It said: damn right I'll rise again Yeah, damn right you'll rise again" (Little Hoodrat Friend)

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.
