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 12.2.

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.

Without a doubt the best sounding album of 2017 to date. Listen with a good pair of headphones to find an expansive soundstage and clear separation among instruments. So far the songwriting is holding up with the production. This looking to be a highlight of 2017.

Not a ton of time has been spent with this one, but it's a lavish, soulful record. Maybe not immediately compelling, but really good.

Not quite as instantly great as the last two albums but it's certainly growing on me with each listen. She still seems inspired and seems more mature than ever on this LP. Whether it will hit the heights of the previous two records I'll have to wait and see but so far it's another very good Laura Marling LP.
