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 25% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.4/100, a mean average of 71.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.4.

Shortlisted for album of the year at the 2022 Grammys. The winner was We Are by Jon Batiste (Edited)
3 years in and sometimes I still think this is her best album yet, so good. (Edited)
Her music got better in this album
"Happier Than Ever" is a maturation of Billie Eilish's sound. The writing is much more emotionally vulnerable and nuanced. Much of the record is focused on post break up feelings and reflection, lending a humanity previously not seen in her work. The instrumentals spread into more acoustic and rock influenced sounds. The Achilles heel is that these growths prevent cohesiveness. Musically and lyrically songs of completely aesthetics will be seated next to each other. "Oxytocin" is a driving sensual electronic banger that does not belong between the quiet reflective "My Future" and the almost angelic "Goldwing". This split can also be seen in song quality. "Happier Than Ever" has a fantastic build than explodes with the entrance of it's guitar. Opposite, "Not My Responsibility" feels like an inferior version of Talking Heads Seen And Not Seen". "Happier Than Ever" shows growth but not full success. (Edited)
This one's more of a grower than her debut. Listening to When We All Fall Asleep... for the first time was mindblowing within the context of mainstream pop music, an excellent intertwining of the O'Connell siblings complementary musical instincts. Refreshing production and songwriting, made even better by the fact that from front to back it was just the two of them. I actually think Happier Than Ever is more mature though. Some of Billie's preoccupations on the debut felt like those of a teenage girl - and of course, she is a teenage girl, so that makes sense. But despite it being solid, it did sound a bit more like a teenager's album, with some cuts that felt a bit trite. This though, is more eclectic, more emotional, perhaps even more authentic. Great record. I think Billie's proved that first album wasn't a fluke.
