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 6% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.0/100, a mean average of 75.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.7.

A combination of the neko heard on "blacklisted" and "fox confessor brings the flood" is on display here. "people got a lot of nerve" and "this tornado loves you" might just be the best 2 songs from any album. This album shows many sides to neko, from the poetic side "I'm an owl on the sill in the evening" to her girl power attitude "the next time you say forever I will punch you in your face" to her ironic side "I'm a maneater / and still you're surprised when I eat ya". I think the nursery bells of "middle cyclone" are a nice touch and her cover of "never turn your back on mother earth" beautifully fits the album and feels like it was made for her to sing. Chirping frogs withstanding, this is yet another very good neko album. (It also doesn't hurt that she had the best album art of the year.)
