Rating metrics: Help 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 77.9/100, a mean average of 77.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.4.

“This is the last batch of 2010 albums I listened to: - (nr 40 on the overall BEA top chart of 2010): Not a bad album and especially the last track is ok but I don't see enough interesting ideas or just music. - (nr 41): again an album by Sufjan Stevens which is full of interesting ideas but that's…”

Beautiful. I can't believe music critics have listened to the same record. Shame on them. No, I pity them. You've got to be quite a sad person to hate this. Their sudden liking for his official ADZ release was even more shamelessly ridiculous.

Its a shame more people wont have heard this EP - 'Heirloom' and 'The Owl and the Tanager' are both beautiful songs.

I always liked this as a an ep but i never really gave it the attention it deserves. Over the past few weeks i've been floored by nearly every song here. Arnika and Djohariah both leave me completely speechless.

Sufjan Stevens released an EP which has more ideas than most bands have on a complete record (or in their life).

I love this album. A good chunk of this is personal to its importance to me. Even so, the title song is one of the best songs I've ever heard and this album will never leave my heart.
