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 has a Bayesian average rating of 70.5/100, a mean average of 68.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.4.

The original Pitchfork review for this album in 2014 described it as a pop masterpiece on one of the very few occasions Pitchfork got it 100% correct

Thankfully sounds a lot more like James Blake from Overgrown than say...The Weeknd. The ending of Precious Love is pretty corny, but I think Face Again and Repeat Pleasure make up for it. I enjoyed this overall, but I don't know when I'll come back to it.

A bit of a mixed bag, but very good overall. "Repeat Pleasure" is the catchiest song I've heard all year.

Refreshing. Dare I say, "witch-house" inspired R&B with top 40 accessibility mixed with some moments of incredibly dark undertones. However not enough to alienate itself from the genre. Actually reminds me a bit of one of my guilty pleasures, Savage Garden.
