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 12% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.4/100, a mean average of 73.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.6.

Damon has a great voice. Such powerful and subtle work here, Skipping School, Calling Paul the Suffering and Believe are my favourites.

Voice of David Gray and Bryan Ferry. Interesting record but not something that I would necessarily listen to again

To quote someone on Reddit, "The Van Morrison of the Twitter age". And to quote Pitchfork, "Everything feels silvery and romantic, like a hallucination of the classic-rock songbook". Honestly I'm adoring this album, it's already in my top 5 for the year so far. I just can't stop listening to "Believe".

Score: 8.6/10
