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 15% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.2/100, a mean average of 73.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.0.

Disappointing effort from the normally reliable Eels

An album of contrasts - the howling rock of the opener, immediately followed by the mellow The Look You Give That Guy, for example. But, as always, a good Eels album but not a favourite of mine. The tracks are consistently around the 7.5-8.5/10 mark, but no real 'E' classics here, apart (maybe) from perhaps the simplest track on here, All The Beautiful Things.

Eels, at a point, became little more than singles and filler. The filler's not bad, but it's still filler.

a great album from a great band. E's been doing it so long, he can knock out a classic easily. Awesome album.

Fresh Blood and What's a Fella Gotta Do were the best. Most of the others are pretty good too.

The only track that impressed me was "Fresh Blood"!The rest of them ain't much of song.
