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 15% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.5/100, a mean average of 76.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.8.

I'd love to see the making of this album. The program lists various musicians playing various "normal" instruments like cello, clarinet, trumpet, etc...

... but in listening, hearing those things is not readily apparent. There is so much electronically manipulated sound as to make the origin of the natural acoustic elements [i]almost [/i]irrelevant.

Now here's the fascinating part; the music takes all these acoustic, or organic, instruments and mixes them with so much electronic sound, making them highly inorganic, electronic (artificial), manipulated, etc. But the final product seems entirely organic. It's a sort of crazy full circle of sound. On paper, it's something that should not be, but then here it is. It seems utterly brilliant to me in a way I've never encountered before, that something deliberately made unnatural ends up sounding,[i] and feeling, [/i]so natural. The rhythm of nature seems very much present in her electronic manipulations.
