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 5% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.0/100, a mean average of 76.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.2.

This may seem unfairly reductive, but Laura Marling is at her best when she conjures peak-era Joni Mitchell. She does that here with just a touch of punk attitude.
Interestingly, it looks like this will be her lowest-rated album very soon. It's my favorite.
This album really needs to be in the top 1,000.
Best Tracks: Sophia, Night after night.

Sophia might be the most beautiful song of the year.
