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 15% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.5/100, a mean average of 76.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 9.6.

I think Anthony Phillips is my all-time favorite musician. His melodies and harmonies are so powerful and bittersweet, always bringing back memories and making you think deeply about life. I love this album even more than the Geese and the Ghost sometimes. It is extremely intimate sounding, as it the whole private parts and pieces series. My favorites are Tregenna Afternoons, Reaper, and the bonus track, Stranger
It may not be quite as extravagant as the geese and the ghost, but this is one of my favorite albums ever. These songs have a lot of character. I especially love Tregenna afternoons, Reaper, and the bonus track Stranger. Music for the soul.
