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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 78.5/100, a mean average of 79.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 10.8.

My favorite from of Montreal. The first seven tracks of this album flow together so well and if you're not dancing you might be dead inside. The bass on this album is sneaky catchy as well, especially on the single Wraith Pinned to the Mist and Other Games (which doesn't sound anything like its title, but DOES sound like a former Outback Steakhouse commercial.) It lulls a bit in the second half, which is no surprise because it seems most of Montreal's albums wear thin by the end, but you have to hear the first half if nothing else. Outstanding.
