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 68.8/100, a mean average of 67.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 68.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 19.7.

I much prefer the originals. Now I've listened to this a few more times, my verdict is:- Pointless and terrible.
I actually really like this. I had avoided it for years because I expected it to be pointless and terrible. It might well still be pointless but I found it quite enjoyable. Not bad at all.
I prefer the originals for most of the tracks.
A vastly underrated album that manages to mostly improve on the originals. Just because it's not a "new" album doesn't mean that it should be ignored.
You definitely have to skip around, but some of these "redo" tracks are real gems and often better than the dated originals. Check out "Song of Solomon", "Deeper Understanding", "Moments of Pleasure", and "Never be Mine".

Yes, Jhereko, I agree: As much as I love Kate Bush, it's a true insult that this crappy remix album is above so many other classics. Yes, I know this was technically the way "she" wanted the songs, but "Deeper Understanding" with autotune? REALLY???
