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 7% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.2/100, a mean average of 74.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.4.

Nice album. Very crowded house in places. Good listen

Excellent album by Jellyfish, grew immensely on me just like Spilt Milk did, though obviously not quite as much.
The slick production was definitely a put-off at first, but after loving Spilt Milk I started to realize how good the tunes on Bellybutton were underneath.
It's weird how much of this record I missed the first few times around; the transitions especially are beautiful but for some reason they just didn't register in my brain. Now that I know what to listen for, this record's a whole lot better.
A little too slick but still an enjoyable pop album.
