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 75.4/100, a mean average of 75.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.3.

A rich discovery.
So varied yet cohesive. The instrumentation perfectly complements her nuanced vocals. Easily one of the Top 5 albums of 2017.

Bold and strong, beautiful and challenging: the music, the lyrics, the singer, and the woman, that is. One of the very best female singer songwriters ever imho. This might be her most varied and masterful work yet. Will challenge for AOTY. (Edited)
