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 25% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.5/100, a mean average of 74.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 9.8.

The opening 10 seconds of this album are so great. It's this great blend of acoustic and electric and it just gets me excited for the album every time I hear it. The first half of the record is every bit as good as Mighty Joe Moon and includes what is probably my favorite Grant Lee Buffalo song, "Bethlehem Steel." The album does lose steam in the second half, though there are still a couple of really strong tracks. In fact, if the album ended on the dreamy "Hyperion and Sunset," it would be just about perfect.
