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 78.3/100, a mean average of 77.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.5.

More than likely Album of the Year for me and perhaps even a contender for my favourite ever album, depending on how much staying power it has.

Every track is just perfectly and meticulously arranged in a way that is reminiscent of Four Tet and Caribou. There are the dance sensibilities of the likes of Jon Hopkins and Disclosure. All topped off with universal yet emotive lyrics and themes expressed within the songs, like more mainstream artists like Avicii, Calvin Harris and the likes.

To me, a person whose favourite genre is electronic, this is among the very best electronic albums I've ever heard.

I love this album for...personal reasons, which I won't be going into. All I can say is that I love this from front to back, even despite Young Thug making an appearance.
Oh and to the guy with the Sun Kil Moon comment, I listen to both, is there a problem?

I can see this being THE Electronica release of the year. Further proof that the xx was really the Jamie Smith band all along.
