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 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.5/100, a mean average of 77.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.0.

Spotify tiene buenas recomendaciones. No me acuerdo cuál disco había terminado de escuchar. El punto es que la siguiente recomendación fue Mysteries de Beth Gibbons, una canción encantadora y una de las mejores que he escuchado. Decidí escuchar el disco completo y está bueno. No todas las canciones me han hecho sentir lo mismo, pero hay varias que se pueden rescatar, como Tom the Model, la otra buena del album, y otras como Drake, Show y Funny Time of Year.

What can I say? Beth Gibbens' voice is haunting, in the most musical way possible. It makes it only more romantic that she lives as a recluse and essentially sends tapes of herself singing to her compatriots. While the Portishead albums are excellent, I would claim this to more masterful and complete. If you're looking for something chilling, slow, and sad, this is it.
