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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.7/100, a mean average of 79.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.6.

Diamond in the rough

Going through 1984 releases, Songs From Suicide Bridge by David Kauffman and Eric Caboor is one record that truly stands out. Not only because the music itself is so much out of place and out of touch with the times, but also because the lyrics are so damn pessimistic, in the middle of a decade that gave us new wave and other such fun things. But one is to expect such pessimism and desperation from a record so aptly titled "Songs From Suicide Bridge". These are no ordinary songs, they are all songs related to suicide. We hear in Kiss Another Day Goodbye:

But I don't know how much longer I can live the way I live and never die
Yeah I don't know how much longer I can kiss another day goodbye

And then in Angel of Mercy:

Oh you angel of mercy won't you have me as a friend?
I have nothing but the end inside of me
Take me high above the canyons through the midnight blues and greys
Lead me from the devil's ways fly me free fly me free

And again in Life Without Love:

Somebody save me, throw out a line
Life without love is destroying my mind
Well I'm heading into a slumber, there's no place on earth left to go
Yet now that my heartbeats are numbered, I don't know

And these themes of pessimism and suicide continue throughout the record. In Life and Times on the Beach we hear:

I can't quite remember, just what happened after this
Something 'bout a future and the chances that I missed
I took a cab to Malibu and now i'm on the beach
And what i need to end it all is right Within my reach

And in Where’s the Understanding?
:
And when I wake I look around
The search for lost and found
Runs out my eyes to see there is no cure

Where's the understanding? Where's the love? Where's the realization?

It must be some place above...

Yet in the middle of all this pessimism, we sometimes hear glimpses of hope, as in And one more day:

And one more day is all you have to give
All you've got to live
Don't throw it all away
And one more day too quickly comes to pass
So quickly out of grasp
Leaving you with only one more day

This record stands like a diamond in the rough waiting patiently to be discovered.
