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 has a Bayesian average rating of 72.8/100, a mean average of 72.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.1.

For such a major event, I’m surprised I have not listened to more music about the pandemic. Certainly some surface level references but nothing really conflicting with the event. That was until I heard “Dance Fever”.
Florence paints such a vivid picture of the removal of live music by the plague. The music struggles with the loss of an artist’s entire livelihood and the longing for its return. “Choreomania” shows the ecstasy of movement with its pitter-patter drums and the increasingly exuberant vocals. “My love” is frantic with the loss of her emotional outlet. “Daffodil” is a gothic monster built through the growing crescendo of drums. The diversity of angles in which it’s covered just makes the concept stronger.
The Machine’s traditional instrument selection is fantastic. In particular, the harp becomes an elegant accent point. The best sound on the record is Welch’s voice. Her voice shoots into chorus just as naturally as it buries itself in growls. Truly impressive breath control throughout. Some tracks like “King” and “Restraint” are a bit flatter, but the album lacks a truly bad track. The movement can’t be stopped. (Edited)
I really like the concept and aesthetic of this LP. Mix that with production from Dave Bayley, Jack Antonoff, Kid Harpoon and Doveman, it's a close contender for my fave from Florence + The Machine.
