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 13% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.4/100, a mean average of 73.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.8.

A classic slow-burner. Wasn't sure at first, but it's an album I keep coming back to and it keeps on giving.

A stronger album end to end than Feist's previous albums. I like it.

Oooh... I like it. Feist isn't happy. She's developed an edge. This album is reflective and retrospective. She's looking back on failure and conflict. It gives her music a darker edge, and the sounds have become more layered, more complex, more risky. Well done Feist. This may be your masterpiece.

This is feist with gnarly teeth, in as much as feist can have gnarly teeth. There are no obvious pop standouts like ipod tune "1 2 3 4". "metals" is both less poppy, more complicated and grander in vision. She's a li'l bluesy on this album, especially the first few tracks.
