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 has a Bayesian average rating of 71.2/100, a mean average of 69.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.6.

Who would have guessed that some of MCR's best work would be found on 5 2-track singles that only made it onto vinyl?
Recorded prior to the release of Danger Days, and released just months before they disbanded, this album contains tracks that sum up everything that was great about this band. Frantic to soft, heavy riffs to piano parts, this has it all :)

A highly underrated album from the boys, not as good as the others but definitely worthy of being a part of their perfect discography
