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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 79.3/100, a mean average of 78.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.2.

All these peopèle who discovered Mark only after Benji makes me laugh.
RHP are on another level, he rever touched these peaks again, this music is pure magic.

Great record, I Hear The Rain Fall kinda keeps it from being a perfect record.

Best album by RHP, and one of the best I've ever heard. Every song is magic, and after nearly 30 listens I still love it as much as the second time.

1 - the second thing you said
2 - no. not even close. much more varied instruments and a different lyrical style from Benji. still good though, if you liked Benji you might like this even more
Hey, so I have not listened to the album yet. And I am sure it would be worth my time. But I have to ask two questions (1) Are all these songs really BEA 90+ quality or has a little magic happened here? (2) Is this album anything like Benji by Sun Kil Moon?
Holy mother of vote manipulation.
