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 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.8/100, a mean average of 77.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.5.

One of my favorite albums (the most underrated Destroyer album on this site) from an excellent artist. Check out the tracks "It's Gonna Take an Airplane", "The Music Lovers" and "Notorious Lightning". (actually, the first 4 tracks are all really fucking good)

The synth orchestra is a welcome and calm change from This Night's rock roughness. And Dan never slacks on the lyrics.

An underrated classic. Dan Bejar is a melodic genius.
