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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 78.9/100, a mean average of 78.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.3.

The sadness and beauty in every song is so seducing and dreamy. This speaks to me in a deep level. I feel like this is somehow the soundtrack that's always playing inside my mind and I only found out now that I actually heard this album. (Edited)

I always liked this album, by the composer who scored "Twin Peaks", Angelo Badalamenti...great album for long distance travel.
There are some moments on this album that absolutely surprised me, like the abrupt intrusion of horns about 3:30 in Into The Night, the pace & key change about 2:00 into I Remember, and the detached, jagged piano playing late into I Float Alone. These creative choices prevent the album from growing stale, which it risks at times from the droning ambience and methodical vocals. It would be even better with some more additions like these, but this is still a very solid listen (Edited)

You've been transported to the fanciest lounge jazz club that you dreamt about visiting for years. All of that waiting has paid off when the entity singing on the main stage is the love of your life.

Was not expecting to love this as much as I did. I love the subtle doo wop influences and the not-so-subtle jazz and lounge influences. And it really is heavenly. In a dark way. (Edited)
