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 23% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.6/100, a mean average of 72.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.2.

Ready to wear cutie pop. One hit single, otherwise quite meh..
The Cardigans’ take on ironic bubble gum pop hits very high highs and very low lows. Lovefool is an all time classic (for very good reason) and Choke is a phenomenal album ender, while Losers and Heartbreaker drag in the mud a little. Still very good

First time hearing anything by this band other than Lovefool and I am immediately a fan. These songs are soo good, and that Iron Man cover has no business working that well.

It was somewhat more interesting that I expected, but only somewhat.

Really good nineties pop.

I can appreciate The Cardigans contribution to music with Lovefool, especially given that it led to one of my favorite moments from the US Office (back when it was good.) However, the rest of the album is pretty forgettable.
