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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 78.6/100, a mean average of 78.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.8.

A decent enough album but….. it doesn’t really grab me. Not half as good as it’s predecessor, the natural bridge which is an absolute classic. Not too disappointed with this but not sure how many times I will be playing it

Nothing particularly interesting, but it seems like they're not really trying to write the most mind blowing material in the world. The quality of songs dips pretty hard after the first two or three tracks.
I just discovered this album. It's one of those you can't believe has existed all this time without you knowing about it. Absolutely love it.

This has to be the strangest Pavement record

People is absolutely amazing. One of the best I've heard.
