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 4% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.8/100, a mean average of 76.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.5.

It’s hard to fault Dev Hynes, the man has been putting out solid tunes for quite some time now. But on his latest record, there’s an extra layer of refinement in the way he approaches the difficult subject of depression, being less concerned with production finesse and more concerned with the songs sounding fresh from the heart.
Blood Orange has a beautiful voice and amazing talents. Look forward to more of him in the future!

Consistently good throughout the album. The sound has a certain permeating feeling to it outside of the lyrics. Very nice.

Awesome album, I love it. 8+/10.

A contemplative, colorful, and cinematic experience whose scope is disguised by so much intimacy and atmosphere.
@lleon79 Give it time.

Such a beautiful album. Wonder why I hasn't blown up here in BEA.

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
