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 4% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.8/100, a mean average of 76.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.2.

A soothing and well-written album makes good, like this.
Best tracks are
- Central Reservation, Stolen Car, Love Like Laughter
I discovered Beth Orton on the secondary stage at 'The Big Day Out' festival. It was mid afternoon while lying on the grass preparing for the nights bands. The most beautiful voice to die for. So hypnotic and serene. Fell in love with her music then and there. This was the first of her albums I bought. A great album right through.
'Pass In Time', 'Stolen Car', 'Feel To Believe' & 'Sweetest Decline' being the outstanding songs.
Favorite Tracks:Blood Red River, Feel To Believe
A beautiful follow up to, trailer park. Central reservation, dispenses with the electronica of it's predecessor and that in turn gives the songs more room to breathe. Excellent tracks in, sweetest decline, couldn't cause me harm, and, pass in time. A lovely album.
Such an old favourite friend. Always makes me stop in my tracks and really listen.
Can't sustain the promise of songs like "Stolen Car" and "Couldn't Cause Me Harm" but in the end it's a pleasant enough diversion.
