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 8% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.9/100, a mean average of 74.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.7.

Moonshake's debut album blends asymmetrical rhythms--think Can (from whose song the band took their name) or Silver Apples)--with rock guitars, noises and samples, dub-bass lines, pulling in some flutes or other jazz instruments into a highly layered post-rock collage best listened to with a great pair of stereo headphones. Half the songs sung and written by Dave who quips lines of socioeconomic fury in dry abrasive male vocals similar to John Lyndon of PiL, the other half written by Margaret with her half-ethereal wanderings. The result is a unique and highly inspired yet disorienting patchwork, alternating claustrophobia and hypnosis, that depicts post-modern über-urban plights and plunders. An album to keep far from the meek of ear, but whose multi-layered production (thanks to Guy Fixen) continues to reveal new treasures even after dozens of listens.
