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 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 84.7/100, a mean average of 83.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 84.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.8.

This is one of thr best produced albums I've ever heard. Kate does an amazing job of building tension and joy. The second half which is a mini concept of being stranded and drowning, explores so many musical concepts in a short time. Big Sky is a personal favorite for the building of layers and pure fun in the music.

As inserções folks são magistrais! Grande obra!
As far as I can recall, I have listened to this album in its entirety exactly one time, somewhere in 2011-2012, immediately rejected it and never looked back. So, I thought it might be a good idea to give it a second try. Sound-wise it's all over the map (just check Jig of Life), there is something here for everyone. Overall, though, this was an album of two halves. First five tracks were kinda ok, but I can't say I managed to connect with them in any special way. On the other hand, And Dream of Sheep signifies the beginning of a great sequence of tracks, where lyrics and music combine to create some mesmerizing imagery.
I've adored this albums since I was a child, but as I've grown older I've started to appreciate different things about it. The way Kate blended all of these amazing elements (baroque pop, celtic folk music, cutting edge synths) whilst making the album so thrilling and emotionally effecting is superb.

I always hate to disparage highly regarded albums by groundbreaking women artists, but this is just not my thing.
Stunning in parts with brilliantly crafted tunes, side 2 unnerved my pal at times, but dream of sheep is just gorgeous
Mindblowing. This is a perfect album.
light 8
Excellent album from Kate Bush. Great beginning and great ending. However, I found the middle tracks (6-> 9) to be kind of boring.
