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 16% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.0/100, a mean average of 74.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 19.8.

Interesting, unusual, good album. Alternative Jazz mixed with a sort of rap-vocal that she gives off. The lyrics are actually really 'cool'. I don't know any better word for them. Some of her screaming-bits are annoying though, which is a shame, cause the rest is fantastic.

The concept and aesthetic of this album could of easily collapsed into a self-ingulgent pretension mess, but thankfully this is not the case. A truly terrifying and brutally sincere performance.

Political and emotional. A future jazz classic.
