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 5% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.0/100, a mean average of 75.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.1.

This is beautiful

"Someone To Share My Life With" is incredible.

Listening to Jens Lekman the first time is great. Listening to Jens Lekman for the sixth time in a week for someone like me is shocking. What else do you expect, though, when you take the greatest cuts of his early EPs and put them into a nice package that feels like one of the best debut albums of all time when listened front to back? I was actually surprised when I learned this wasn't a singles compilation, as every song has the potential to be a major a-side. Jens's delicacy is never trite, his romanticism never verging on misogynistic in its longing. One of the few true nice guys left as well as one of the best ears on the planet, for my money. If the guy did hip hop or, hell, what the jj attempt, he would excel. Just listen to that Beat Happening sample of his on "Pocketful of Money." That's the comfy sweater version of "Dead Presidents II," if you ask me.

Pocketful of Money is the reason I started loving Jens Lekman and is still one of my favorite songs ever. It is just such an amazing song and it makes me so happy :)
