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 77.4/100, a mean average of 76.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.7.

Good album by a good artist, i like the singing of Regina Spektor very relaxing. My favorite tracks are: Fidelity, On The Radio, That Time.

Quite the artist with a unique sound. My favourite is That Time which is Spektor at here quirky best. Other songs sound much sweeter and are very catchy. Soviet Kitsch is a good album too.

Hotel Song and Samson as well as the bonus track Hero are the standouts for me. An awesome album from an awesomely underrated artist

I can appreciate all of Regina's material. Some of her best songs are unreleased and she'll play them live every few years. I encourage everyone to check them out too!

Still my favorite after all these years. This is definitely the album that anyone seeking to explore regina's vast discography should start with. I don't disagree with anyone who says that the first half is superior to the second, but an album really doesn't get better, more memorable, or more personally significant than this for me.

She's definitely more of a singles artist.

The first half is fantastic. The second half not so much.
