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 9% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.2/100, a mean average of 75.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.3.

This is a damn good album. When it came out I was shocked at how much they'd "ripped off" Air. But when you delve in the carve their own path. Wonderfully produced. In fact not far behind Moon Safari on quality. Quality instrumentation, songs and vocals (Sia makes her name here). A must hear from the period. I want to hear it now, where is my cd?

Great trip-hop/lounge album, with 2 songs, The Waiting Line & Destiny, featuring some of most chilling & superb female vocal performances ever recorded.

Clearly not enough people have listened to this. It's one of my all time favourites and everybody I have played it to agrees it's *amazing*.

The first three tracks r great. "Easy listening" at its finest. If I owned a coffee shop or a lounge, they would be on heavy rotation. After that, the album becomes pretty boring & doesn't really hold up to dedicated listening. Music for Mausoleums?
