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 17% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.2/100, a mean average of 72.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.3.

My favorite album by the artist I've listened to more than any other over the past fifteen years or so. Beautifully crafted lyrics in the Americana singer/songwriter vein. "Kathleen" is the highlight here, with one of the all-time most romantic opening lines: "All the other girls here are stars; you are the Northern Lights."

If you like singer-songwriters and just really good poetic songwriting you'll love this album. There are very few weak tracks here and the highlights are incredible. "Kathleen", "Baby That's not All", "Bright Smile" are incredible. It's an 8.6/10 for me.

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
