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 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.2/100, a mean average of 78.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 10.2.

I actually really like the back and forth between Krauss and the other vocalists, it mixes up the album very well. Progressive bluegrass is incredible, I really enjoy Krauss' violin/fiddle and viola work, really stands out when there are those moments.

I think this became a new favorite of mine!

Progressive bluegrass by a top-notch group of musicians. It's nice to hear a band that can actually play real instruments and a singer that just sings the song.

What a voice! There are 3 or 4 tracks on this album where she doesn't sing and the band do something or other reasonably well, but the 8 tracks where she sings are just sublime and it's better than her overrated collaboration with Robert Plant.
