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 4% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.6/100, a mean average of 78.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.0.

Not nearly as fun or endearing as So Jealous, which is the only other one I've heard, but still a decent record.

They sing short, bittersweet tales of love lorn and loss. The album's packed with cute, bittersweet pop gems. You learn the mood from the beginning song "time running" -- "I could see you ten or twelve times a day / I think it's best we do it your therapist's way". Relationship therapy with your twin sister. My favorites are "Monday Monday Monday" ("damn your mood swings"), "underwater" (the harmonic chorus is fun along with lines like "I would go to jail with only boys / Just to prove I was as tough as you / And when I get out for good behavior / I'll be writing love songs / Silly banging knee songs"), "I hear noises" (if only for the slurred "sssssick" of the line "let me know that that my sssssick guilt is so unwelcome" and that it reminds me of an early 90s "crash" song) and "living room" (with the line "My windows look into your living room / I spend the afternoon on top of you" and more good harmonies at the chorus).
