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 78.3/100, a mean average of 78.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 80.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.1.

I ask everyone to give this album a try. It's one of those that I found in my early teen years, listened to it all through high school, and still enjoy it today. Yes it is a bit angsty, but it's honest. Justin Pierre is one of the greatest poets of his generation and every single one of his lyrics carries so much weight. If you like pop punk with an indie twist, give this one a shot. There's never a dull moment - it's full of catchy lines and hooks as well as some really fun moog synthesizer. It's just quirky and fun. An album that I could never live without and could never get tired of. An indie classic if you ask me!
