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 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.7/100, a mean average of 79.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.4.

This is Masked Dancers: Concern in So Many Things You Forget Where You Are by The Brave Little Abacus

Midwest emo / post rock / Math Rock

And with every scream, you can feel it too. You feel the loneliness, the insecurity in that lisp.

Masked Dancers is an album plagued by longing and sorrow. That insane songwriting that’s somehow both technically complex and simple/catchy. Those warm guitars and some of the best drumming you have ever heard in your goddam life. Oh and that production, that dreamy dreamy production. Euphoric. Adam Demijirian, the lead vocalist, has what can be described as a very strained relationship with pitch, tone, intonation, and all the other basics. He has a very present speech impediment that makes the sound “ess” nonexistent in his vocabulary. Yet, it fits perfectly. It couldn’t have been any other way. Every note fits just the right way.

Midwest emo is this kind of music that a bullied lonely kid would listen to on the bus while looking through the window and wishing for a better life. Adam is that kid. You are that kid. This album is an escape, if just for 50 minutes, to a world where the only voice in the room is the one that gets you
