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 77.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 80.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.7.

Yeah this is pretty good. Tonagamu's description: "the dark side of Loveless" is pretty accurate. I had this laying around and I hadn't listened to it and I'm glad I did.

Warning: This album is really fucking loud, That being said, this is like the dark side of Loveless. It's a fantastic album worth listening too. It may lack the soundscapes that Loveless has to offer, but what it doesn't have it makes up for in just pure sound and catchy melodies.
