Rating metrics: Help 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 79.5/100, a mean average of 78.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.8.

If you ever find yourself wondering why young people are so depressed, this record is a good place to start.

Was not expecting to like this as much as I did! Never listened much to art pop/electro-pop/whatever people call this, but I might start now. Really neat and I'll definitely be following FKA Twigs from now on.

Impressive vocals and unconventional sounds. This is a different kind of pop that I wish more people attempt. There is meaning in every song. My favorite songs are ones where FKA Twigs shows off her voice like in "home with you" and "fallen alien". The Future feature does not fit at all and is the only regrettable part of the album in my opinion.

She plays in her league, and it is just interesting to listening to her soundscapes. It is not an album that catches you in its whole after the first listening, but with every rotation it gets better. It's not comparable and I really enjoy listening to the album with headphones and dive into the music.

What a phenomenal album. This doesn't fail to put me into such a unique headspace every time I listen. Twigs has some kind of supernatural power to make phenomenal, thought-provoking music. Quite possibly my AOTY for 2019.

Favorite tracks: Sad Day, Cellophane, Holy Terrain

Tahliah Debrett Barnett is one of the most important artists today as we enter a fresh decade and this album is why. Not only is it an incredible sweet of tracks but they are supported by a collection of perfect video clips of singles that are perfect pieces of cinematic art in themselves , as well as live performances in support of ‘MAGDELEN’ that are quite simply sublime. Go to YouTube and check out the following:

(1) Cellophane ( Official Video)
(2) home with you ( Official Video)
(3) FKA Twigs Later With Jools 2019 ( dancing with swords! Yep)
(4) FKA Twigs Cellophane Live Jimmy Fallon 2019 ( Gorgeous pole dancing)

Talk about a triple threat!

Amazing artist for our times

A really surprising album for me. Every songs still gives me chills. If I had more time with this album it could have became my #1 of the decade easily.
