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 11% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.9/100, a mean average of 74.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.0.

I'm a big fan of her old man's work and this album proves the apple doesn't fall far from the tree

It's only her 3rd album but what an accomplished piece of art 'IRM' (A french derivation for MRI Brain Scanner) is with wonderful tracks from top to bottom

There's the slow groove of "Master's Hand" , the techno feel of title track "IRM" and "Greenwich Mean Time" , the sexy all french "Le Chat du Cafe" and "La Collectionneuse", the Beatle-esque "In The End" , the pop sensibilities of "Heaven Can Wait" , "Me And Jane Doe" and "Time Of The Assassins" have an Indy feel to them , the lush strings of "Vanities" , "Trick Pony" is sensual to a tee and "Dandelion" could have been Marc Bolan.

One of the previous poster's states this is the greatest record ever , I wouldn't go that far but I do simply adore this album , it's an under appreciated masterpiece

I didn't expect much, but this album blew my mind. It's one of the greatest albums ever freakin' recorded.
