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 22% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.6/100, a mean average of 72.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.2.

Despite being too long and a bit messy, Utopia still manages to be an interesting and thought provoking record.
Only two years after the gut-punch that was Vulnicura, Björk wanted to let us know she was okay by making a “happy album”, and while I don’t know how successful she was, I’m more fascinated by her than ever before. Using samples of birdsong as synths and fleets of flutes as birdsong, she paints a picture of paradise where nature is law and love is hard to avoid, but leaves the window open for the last vestiges of pain.

Lindas melodias e os acordes de flauta. Traz uma paz alienígena, de natureza de algum outro lugar.
Perhaps "Utopia" is slightly overlong, but this marks another successful collaboration between Björk and Arca who both create a gorgeous and entrancing world full of flutes and birdsong for the listener to get completely lost inside. We're far away from the world of pop now, but close your eyes and let yourself be sucked in.

Big, gushing follow-up to Vulnicura shows the many things to like and really not like about Bjork, all in one convenient package. The highs are often lovely and full of motley, interesting ideas, but too often it can feel indulgent and repetitive for the sake of being indulgent and repetitive, especially in the album's largely concave-d middle section. Two-thirds of a very good album, but despite the colorful, detailed production it still frustrates too much (and not in a good way) to really gel as a whole- though some of Bjork's best work period can be found near the end.
