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 9% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.9/100, a mean average of 76.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 7.4.

Ex Coral guitarist B.R.J follows up 2016's excellent 'West Kirby County' with 'Yawn' which is far from a yawn and is quite simply one of 2018's best albums
With his trademark husky vocals that barely raise above a breath , BRJ walks us through a sad journey of longing , heartbreak and the challenges of being a gay man in today's society all backed with soaring melodies and wandering sole-full guitars
The most beautiful album for 2018
80/100

Bill doing what he does. Only this time wearing a coat of shoegaze/slowcore/noise over his melancholy. Still bill. Still doing it right.
