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 6% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.7/100, a mean average of 74.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.3.

Even more criminally underrated than Silversun Pickups' glorious debut, I am perplexed by the fact that this band didn't receive the notoriety of their contemporaries like Modest Mouse and Death Cab for Cutie, who they are often compared to.

Having already made two albums (their first is also fantastic), Pinback's third LP, Summer In Abaddon, sees the band create something I'd call an incredible achievement in rock music, and easily comparable to triumphant efforts from similar rock bands like Modest Mouse and Built to Spill.

It still astounds me how far I had to venture out of BEA's top 1000 to discover this hidden masterpiece, but I'm so glad I found it.

A great indie rock album, not quite sure whey these guys have never garnered much attention. "Fortress" especially is an absolute gem of a song.
