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 has a Bayesian average rating of 71.2/100, a mean average of 69.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.5.

L'ho trovato meglio di come lo ricordassi questo "Distortions", ma in ogni caso mi pare che queste "distorsioni" non si adattino granchè bene alle melodie dei Magnetic Fields.
A disappointment as far as The Magnetic Fields are concerned, but still a halfway decent album.

Perfect pop drenched in noise & feedback, even the cellos. Brilliant.
