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 12% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.4/100, a mean average of 74.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.1.

I listened to this album to death on my little CD walkman on the way to work in Hamburg. It was also really popular in a couple of bars I frequented as well. 'Becoming X' is a unique sounding album with heavy trip hop but also Indie pop influences. Highlights for me are 'Post Modern Sleaze' and 'Spin Spin Sugar'
This was a hella tight record. Can't believe that the recent ratings have been in the meh side.

Best tracks: 6 Underground, How Do, Spin Spin Sugar.
How Do is a cover of Willow's Song from the film The Wicker Man.
