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 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 84.1/100, a mean average of 82.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 84.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.8.

145th best album of all time is a bit of an insult. This beautiful, timeless, life-changing masterpiece deserves to be far higher. Every single track is sublime; from the elegant, sweeping brilliance of "Joga" and "Bachelorette" to the more electronic stompers like "5 Years" and "Pluto". I can't recommend this album enough, it easily outshines its two predecessors and represents a landmark album in the electronic genre.
One of my favourite albums ever from my favourite artist.

A wonderful record that defines her music career. She has a genre of her own. (Edited)

Homogenic is the strongest album by Björk. If you are not blown away by the first four tracks beauty and power then turn around. Björk is then not for you.
This album is in my all time top 10. (Edited)

Her voice is gorgeous. She definitely has one of the best voices of the past twenty or so years, and, unlike other woman with strong voices, like Ariana Grande and others, she uses this voice to create beautiful music. I can't choose one stand-out track in this album, as I have rated every track either 80 or 85, but I'm sure that will change in the coming months. Her music is so intense. The strings make an atmosphere that feels like something is coming. It's really good.

Björk, one of the greatest vocalists alive today ("All Is Full of Love" can attest to this), reached her peak with one of the most beautiful and emotive albums ever made. Driven by great icy electronic production and beautiful strings, this album is made for quality headphones. The track sequencing is also great. When listening to a track on its own, it feels diminished because it is taken without the context of the surrounding tracks. While this can be seen as a flaw, it's a testament to the album's strength as an ALBUM, not a collection of tracks. Pure, raw beauty and emotion in musical form. And if the second verse of "Hunter" and the song's main string line aren't some of the most intense things you've ever heard, you haven't heard it, so listen to it.
