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 22% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.0/100, a mean average of 72.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.6.

It's wonderful! Could listen to it again and again. Have it on vinyl delivered from The Villagers website itself. Love this band. He's from Ireland but sounds more like a folk rock band from America.

I was beginning to doubt he had another great album in him, but by golly, he's done it again. And I dare say this is an even finer album than his debut. Sweet Saviour and Long Time Waiting are the immediate highlights for me.
