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 77.8/100, a mean average of 76.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.7.

As the distance between them grew, she slowly became nothing but a lovely blur. (Edited)
My favourite song on the album is Look On Down From The Bridge, but unfortunately I found the rest of the album very boring. It's more of the same from their first album (which was good but not spectacular).
Not as good or consistent as, So tonight, and also a bit too similar. Still, it's pleasant enough and nice to chill out too. Good, but not great.
For some reason it seems to me like the saddest Mazzy Star album, not as strong as predecessors, but still some gems on it. (Edited)

Though occasionally a bit empty, Among My Swan has throughlines of divinity that make the album entirely worthwhile.
