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 artists can have several thousand ratings)

Perfect from now on is perfect, a truly underrated album deserving any and all accolades thrown upon it. People often talk of the guitar work but what Built To Spill master above all else is to create perfect songs - everything aspect of song craft is honed to perfection, and nowhere is this more present than on their opus 'perfect from now on', it's probably more present than anywhere else in indie rock. Martsch is a composer
So tragically underrated...recently saw them play to a crowd of 300, was one of my favourite music experiences (Edited)

The greatest indie band ever, bar none. The guitar work on their albums is absolutely breathtaking.
