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 74.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.0.

Nice album, it doesn't push any boundaries, it doesn't reach soaring heights, but it's nice. Favourite: This Old Dark Machine

This is a nice album to stumble upon towards the end of summer; calming and reflective. Very Bon Iver-esque, perhaps even better.

Beautiful music, with a lot of solid tracks. I don't listen to this enough and neither does anyone else, obviously. I like this much better than (the somewhat similar) Bon Iver.

I have a huge sentimental attachement to if I had a boat and I love it so much.

this album is very nice. standout tracks are if i had a boat and we don't eat. by the end of the album his airy vocals are a little too much for me.
