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 has a Bayesian average rating of 72.2/100, a mean average of 72.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.8.

I loved Holly Herndon's "Platform" and it's true that the San Francisco musician amazed her entourage with her experimental music blending technology and organic. Four years later, she recurs in this approach with her new audacious album called "Proto". Holly Herndon created an artificial intelligence called Spawn designed to react to human singing and to mix the voice of the choir with its own digital singing. It's science fiction! And I think this album really sounds like a science experiment and not a real album. It's science that Holly Herndon tries to infuse. It focuses on theories, the impact of new technologies on current music. Surely one of the craziest records this year but not necessarily one of the easiest to listen to.
6/10
Probably very avant-garde, but it is mainly composed of non-descript electronics. Can't figure out the structure or what was hoped in the way of achievement.
