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 6% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.6/100, a mean average of 77.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.9.

honestly it's mostly pointless given how we already have SFTB and just unfortunate that we couldn't have gotten all of the new shit that's on this album on another studio album. it doesn't work as a companion to SFTB either b/c if you were to listen to this with each listen of that then you'd be overplaying the tracks that overlap. maybe it's unfair to say it's just a lesser version of SFTB but that's my current standing on it.
