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 15% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.2/100, a mean average of 73.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.0.

Quiet and beautiful! Great album!
Really nice album...my favourite of the year so far. Kind of reminds me of a band called The Clientele who also excelled in this hazy nostalgic folky pop sound.
Jessica Pratt has an amazing voice! This album, "Quiet Signs", is not bad. It's a folk album with many unusual elements that can be likened to psychedelic pop. In fact Jessica Pratt sings with her special voice on a simple and modest guitar but from time to time other instruments are heard (electronics, flute, piano ...). The album is very relaxing listening but he misses something ...
6/10
Her voice freaks me out a bit but the songs are so gentle and calm. Really nice to listen to once you get used to the vocal.
This record's so great at building an effortlessly dreamlike landscape. Most of the tracks here are little more than a repetitive guitar with vocals, but the way the two go together works on every track. Jessica's voice is the main factor holding everything together, it takes a short while to get used to it but once you're there it beautifully occupies the spaces left by the instrumentals with its echoing effects. The odd instrumental flairs are also great whenever they appear, breathing new life into certain sections of the tracks.
It's a great album that arranges a small amount of elements perfectly. There's not a huge amount of variation here, but this isn't so much a problem on a sub 30 minute album. I'm sure I'll only like it more with time.
