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 6% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.1/100, a mean average of 76.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.9.

One of the prettiest and catchiest albums I've ever heard. The blissful curiosity seeps through every song, and gives you a little pit of sad reminiscence in you stomach with every listen.

Good stuff, ruff gem is by far my favorite though.

The Unicorns breakup resulted in the formation of The Islands. The sound is approximately the same, but cleaner and more refined, mature dare-i-say, which results in an album without "Cut Our Hair"'s peaks and mountainous missteps. They genre-hop a bit too, from electronic minor-glitches to hip hop. "Return to the Sea" is as passionately-deep as it is varied as "Rough Gem" and the frenetic "Where There's A Will There's a Whalebone" highlight on the return of everyone's favorite indie lo-fi head-scratching band.
