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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 78.2/100, a mean average of 77.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.8.

This album will (or at least should) mark a before and after in Spanish music. (Edited)

Second half of the album is Top 1 2018.
If this was more well known, it would be top 10 in 2018, easily. Rosalía struck gold with this flamenco-trap/pop style and the way it allowed her to bring a beautiful, traditional story into the modern world of synths and industrial sounds. (Edited)

I discovered this record by going through the most recent Rolling Stone Top 500 albums list and it was one of my more pleasant surprises in a while.
El Mal Querer is a really successfully ambitious record. The best moments on these tracks mirror the album’s glowing, shimmering cover.
A consistently solid and engaging project with a run-time that makes it breeze by while still being able to deliver a narrative both musically and lyrically.

Good concept, but only a few of these tracks live up to the flamenco pop aspirations of the idea. (Edited)
