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 77.2/100, a mean average of 77.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.5.

Ballsy indie pop rock.

This should get more credit! Alan Moulder and The Smashing Pumpkins are what lead me to this album. Very solid from start to finish. Can't really distinguish any lows, but also nothing too overwhelming either.
Probably a grower...
Top tracks: Duel, Last Train To Satansville, Duress
Overall: 77/100
Best Tracks: You Find It Everywhere, Girl On A Motorbike
