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 8% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.0/100, a mean average of 74.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.0.

Lateness of Dancers was my first exposure to Merge Records greats Hiss Golden Messenger, and it made an immediate impression despite being a subtle, understated affair. M.C. Taylor is one of the finest Americana singer-songwriters of his generation, and although his nasal tenor can be a bit of an acquired taste, I've come to appreciate it as well. The title track is the high point here, and this is an album I expect to see rising in my charts as I spend more time with it.
