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 11% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.5/100, a mean average of 73.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.3.

Nicely produced. Sexy record. She's great! (Edited)
With a background in singing jazz, indie and even prog metal, Kelela proves that she is not to be confined to one genre in her cocksure full-length debut Take Me Apart. Admittedly what I like most about the album is that it channels the best of late-nineties R&B production, but that’s not to say Kelela is a carbon copy by any means. I expect a lot of good things in the future.
Pretty good. Frontline and LMK are far and away my highlights
A electronic tinged r&b that show potential but isn't there quite yet.

Really good, track for track, but you could cut three or four songs here without missing anything. Otherwise, terrific songwriting--if a little samey--and even better production.
