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 16% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.3/100, a mean average of 75.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.7.

As usual, Saint Etienne's pop is very well produced and structured, and "Good Humor" is no exception to this. This record is filled to the brim with very good tracks with a more lounge-y influence and less alternative dance, but if there's a flaw, it's that nothing here is truly exceptional. They seem to have sacrificed a bit of distinctiveness for cohesion, which depending on perspective, is a good or a bad thing. Perhaps it's a bit of both.

Perfect pop album. This was the soundtrack of my summer back in 1998. Woodcabin was even my wake up alarm.
