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 5% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.8/100, a mean average of 76.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.8.

it's funny with Sinead. the period when that record came out corresponds with its extreme and fundamentalist tendencies. And despite his sometimes strange reactions, these songs have never sounded so sure of it. Sinead is nonconformist, rebellious, she exaggerates .... but this disc is a mix between tradition and "air time" ... Emma's song makes me vibrate from the inside ... and yet the character is upset. .. calm during the storm

I like Sinead O'connor. Love her first two albums and really dug one of her 2010s albums but sadly this is the most generic version of her I've heard yet. First track was good though.
Edit months later* Silly me cuz now I like it better haha.
