Rating metrics: Help 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 11% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.6/100, a mean average of 73.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.6.

(This is an album wrapped up in the death of David Balfe's best friend. It explores beautifully all the angles of that grief, and all the memories David wants to reminiscence about with his friend. It's about dealing with grief, and trying to move on. Musically it's Spoken Word Poetry, House, Art Pop and some other elements. This is a great album.)

This music is not usually my style. But its so heartfelt and so powerfully presented here that I fell under its sad and grief-filled and existential spell rather rapidly. It's a good album that can make me reminisce and feel newly the joys of friends now gone. And it is rare that an album makes me recollect the ones I loved and love now and want to call and reach out to them immediately. This album did that for me. The Poetry is good, the messages are harsh and real and relatable and brutal, and the tracks themselves, while nothing revolutionary or overwhelmingly brilliant, are tinged with such a beautiful and deep sadness. The samples and vocal snippets are excellent.

The genre tags are spoken word and progressive house with some elements of Hip Hop and Art Pop and sound collage. And that is a good enough description I suppose. It's all those things. But, more than that, this is a cohesive album all about the time the artist spent with his best friend and the feelings of loss from his death and his questions of where to go and what to do after the tragedy. It's about getting old, it's about what it means to be young and carefree. It's about a lot of things and consistently these themes are explored and fleshed out gorgeously.

A question I can't find answers on the web about: is this a re-edition of a 2019 album?
