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 78.3/100, a mean average of 77.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.2.

Probably Thom's best project outside of Radiohead (along with the Smile), Dawn Chorus is one of the best tracks he's done in the last 10 years. The companion short film on Netflix is really good too and adds a new dimension to this record once you've seen it
Some great tunes on this album.

It's not bad, but it strikes me that the other guys in Radiohead are good for Thom Yorke.
A lot of good in there ! Thom Yorke makes a great follow-up to his solo work.
Standouts: Traffic, Dawn Chorus, Not the News, Impossible Knots
