Rating metrics: Help 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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 78.7/100, a mean average of 78.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.4.

Phoebe Bridges has released a stunning group of tracks that is easily one of the best albums in 2017

So many killer tracks here: the haunting opener "Smoke Signals" , the single "Motion Sickness" with its incredible video , "Georgia" which is album highlight & was written originally by a teenage Bridges and the beautiful duet "Would You Rather"

The albums not perfect though with "You Missed My Heart" not working as an album closer , but it really is the only chink in a stunning armour

Completely wonderful

Some great moments in here, but overall it isn't that good. 7/10.
