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 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.0/100, a mean average of 77.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.7.

It's odd that this feels like this could be the greatest work of Jenny Hval yet, when she is, to me, the best working musician there is. An entire work centering around one key concept, and its brevity is all the concept needs to be fulfilled. It isn't my favorite work by her, perhaps because of this brevity, but it is a masterful achievement.
A good EP by Jenny Hval but doesn’t match the conceptual beauty of Blood Bitch. This EP proves that Hval has a talent for creating a mood.
