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 73.2/100, a mean average of 74.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 6.6.

(Minimalistic, melancholic, beautiful. Just Lael and her Omnichord and some guitar and some austere ballads.)
This is an interesting album. It really is very minimalistic, austere, beautiful and heartfelt. Its a vast majority just voice and omnichord and guitar. The songs are given room to take center stage with this simple backdrop. The melodies are engaging and the vocal performances are bare and heartfelt. The sense of melancholy and wonder is strong throughout. Somehow despite being very stripped down, the atmosphere and sound of this album is quite unique and distinguishes itself from the many other songer/songwriter albums released this year that I've listened to.
Its easy to kinda be swept off when listening to this album. When I am in a peaceful and relaxed frame-of-mind this is just the right soundtrack.
While the incredibly bare musical palate here can be a bit... tiresome at times, this is a mostly rich and welcome listening experience from beginning to end.
Note: I am pretty sure that the main instrument Lael uses is a retro Omnichord, based off reviews and comments from others. I am by no means an expert and may be wrong.
