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 76.0/100, a mean average of 76.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 9.6.

This is indie pop with college-age sensibilities. There's a lot of compressed fuzz and feedback on this album. "insistor" is the charging BOMB ("And when you rush I'll call your name / Like Harvard Square holds all inane / And don't you know I'll be your badger") while "crazy eights" is a chugging, distorted hum-along. "cowfire" comes with spitfire atop a fast-strummed acoustic number.
