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 22% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.6/100, a mean average of 74.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 8.6.

A more laid back feel than their 90's albums which works and I like

In my opinion, this is their best effort since Us & Us Only. Enjoyable all the way through, and gets better with repeated listens.

same as others. quite a surprise that this is as good as it is. best they have done in at least 10 yrs. if you are a fan and have gone off them in recent years it's worth a listen

Not what I expected, their best album in over a decade. The last 2 albums dented their position of my favourite band for the last 20+ years, this is more like it. Wondered if we'd get another album after the sad loss of Jon Brookes last year, once again the Charlatans bounce back. As with most of their albums, this is different from the last, a very mellow, soulful sound, with some great hooks on it. Doesnt sound like the same band that released Tellin' Stories in the height of britpop. In The Tall Grass maybe one of their best songs yet.
