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 23% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.5/100, a mean average of 72.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.1.

(As someone who is late to the Jane Weaver experience, this is a very intriguing introduction to her music. This album is a lil pop gem full of excellent ideas executed beautifully. It dips its toes in psych pop and art pop and synth pop and more dreamy bits etc and it almost all works very nicely.)
Jane Weaver has released 11 albums since 2002. Yet she is news to me. Not sure how she has so completely and utterly alluded my attention. Well, I am glad 2021 is the year I finally have heard OF her and listened to her music.
This, her 11th studio album (per a very cursory glance at her RYM) is a beautiful simpler platter of various sounds and pop ideas that Jane dips her toes into. It sounds and feels like she has become enough of a veteran that almost any idea she gets for a melody or a sound or effect she can pull off. The whole album has an easy flow that just rolls along and is never remotely awkward or unpleasant. The consistency and the tendency of the sometimes gorgeous sounds being so short-lived makes this album almost feel insubstantial. That may be my only critique if ya wanna call it that. After a couple listens I find myself fond of every second but head over heels for none of it (outside of the infectious closing track "Solarised" which I admittedly love).
I am intrigued by the talent on display here, the songwriting, arranging, vocals, and almost every detail here is so effortlessly infectious and beautiful and fun. Certainly one of the better Art Pop/Psych Pop album I've heard this year.
