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 6% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.5/100, a mean average of 75.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.9.

Always found this to be a bit overrated. The first track is by far the best. It all comes across as kind of a bit lo fi. Maybe it's intentional because of the jazz thing but the beats and bass sound like they're in another room. The tone is set on track 2 when I'm waiting for a colossal bass that never comes. It ok and and all but a bit underwhelming. And not as interesting as similar stuff that Ninja Tune put out in the preceding years.

Fantastic lounge album, the best album I've ever heard in the genre, captures the deep grooves of 70s funk while remainining firmly based in 90s samples. Lives up to its name- great on airplanes, and feels like a cruise around the world!
nice lounge album, great as background music when reading a book
