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 77.8/100, a mean average of 77.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.4.

Kali killed it here. With a wide variety of styles, she nails every single one. (Edited)
Absolute masterpiece! Saw her live as opening act for Lana Del Rey and she is an actual goddess. Her EP Por Vida was very promising and she absolutely delivered. Favorites include "Miami", "Flight 22", and "Dead To Me" Can't wait to see what she does next!
A lovely, chilled-out record from Kali Uchis that deserves all the praise it's been showered with. Very accomplished for a debut isn't it, it sounds like an assured album from a veteran musician. (Edited)
This album is hipnotic and I absolutely love the dreamy aspect of It. "Flight 22", "In my Dreams" are some of my favorites, and "Gotta Get Up" is one the best interludes ever.
Really this feels like an album only worth listening the whole way through, but once you do, you get so immersed in her world that you don't want to ever get out of It.
Simmering pop perfection - Kali seems to be a total chameleon, adapting and performing no matter where the songs take her. As a collection of songs, this year's best release, and some really, catchy songwriting. (Edited)
