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 7% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.2/100, a mean average of 74.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.7.

There’s something very unaffected and natural about Sampha’s musical process, in his songwriting, lyricism and production. Process is a confident, heartfelt debut that makes it clear he’ll be one to watch for a long time.
A nice-enough subdued R&B record, but ultimately fails to leave an impression and is honestly quite forgettable.

An album laced with emotion. This genre is becoming popular and has seen some lazy, boring releases. Sampha adds a great deal of colour and beauty into the scene with a brilliant debut. He could be near Frank Ocean's level of talent. Check this album out and keep an eye out for what he does next.
Really surprised at the average rating of this one. Definitely one of the best records I've heard last year, not a single weak song.

Beautiful vocals and production on this album. One of the best of 2017.
