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 has a Bayesian average rating of 72.9/100, a mean average of 73.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.6.

Great album, better than most of the Shin's work.
Repo 04/24/2017 00:00 | #189735
First Impression: (Pavement > Archers of Loaf) worship shine through on this which is interesting since I pick none of this on the The Shins' debut. Very generic indie rock sound c/w the sound he would develop just a few years later. Still solid indie rock though.
Pretty good, but not close to other things Mercer has come out with

The remastered version of this is AMAZING.

Easy to see why sub pop wanted to scoop up James Mercer and co.
