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 70.1/100, a mean average of 68.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 69.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.4.

Maybe not the most challenging album, or one I'll be thinking about for a long time, but it is so irresistibly enjoyable, almost like a guilty pleasure.
What you get if Stevie Nicks and Weyes Blood had a child. It works.
It starts with an Abba rip-off, then goes through The Carpenters, Joni Mitchell, Carole King, Carly Simon. It doesn't sound original, it's just plain derivative.

85 to 90/100 (Completely unexpected pop extravaganza! Excellent mix of primarily Country Pop, 60s Girl Group, and other goodies. This album is just really fun. and pretty. Fun and pretty is what this album is.)
This album is a sugary sweet, honest to god, old school pop extravaganza. The whole album is this lavish and delectable mix of country pop, 60s Girl Group, Baroque pop, Disco?! (yes, but mostly just on the first couple songs), etc. And the album is just about as charming as that sounds.
This album is so rich and fleshed out. All over the place you'll hear saxophones, sexy synth riffs, clean guitar runs, beautiful strings, funky bass lines, gorgeous shimmering pedal steel parts, twinkly keyboard parts, and on and on. This album feels like some big budget pop album straight out of 1975 or something. It's incredibly lush.
Not every song is a total slam dunk. But what is amazing is most of them are. It feels like Pearl and her crew said "fuck it, let's record The World's Greatest Retro Pop Album ", and then...succeeded.
The funny thing is the first time I heard this I thought it was pretty, gorgeous even, but flimsy. The second time through I noticed that almost all my previous gripes had dissipated like smoke. I couldn't remember what most of my criticisms were. Instead I was just enjoying this delish buffet of sound. Now, on my 3rd listen, I'm just grooving. I have fully embraced carefree Ryan, and loving almost every minute.
I can say with some certainty that I'm not just riding a short-term high, and that 7 of these 10 songs are just fabulous. The other 3 are weaker but by no means bad. Just maybe a little less flwoing and natural and complete sounding.
Anyway, this album is great. Give it a listen.
