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 5% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.8/100, a mean average of 79.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.1.

I've been a huge Lights fan since 2010 so I get to say this! For me this album falls flat. Its the most mainstream sounding in both lyrics and production but also the least interesting for me musically and lyrically. Morphine is a glimpse of the Lights magic and as good as anything she's ever written. But everything else is good but not great...just vanilla. Of her 4 albums this ranks solid last.
