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 12% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.4/100, a mean average of 75.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.7.

I completely agree with user below, this album holds up really well as an Early-2000’s pop album.

Compared to what was released by most of Michelle Branch’s other pop contemporaries, The Spirit Room can stand as one of the best albums of the genre and one of the better albums of the Early-2000’s era of pop music.

As far as pop albums go, this one has aged surprisingly well. I love it just as much now as I did in the early 2000s.
