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 14% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.2/100, a mean average of 74.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.5.

“Compared to 2021's 543 albums and 2022's 1049, I have only heard 60 this year. But I plan to get more into what has been released this year, by January. My most played album of the year is Hope by NF, but due to filler, he didn't make my top 10 so far. Here it is: 10: 9: 8: 7: 6: 5: 4: 3: 2: 1:…”

best of 2023 until may, a kind of mix of sigur ros with perfume genious and jessie ware, good instrumental quality, good production but not excessive. The album flows perfectly, it has no hits, it counts as a whole.

Every track on “Fantasy” sounds like the one at the end of a movie. They have these huge build ups of sound that transform into lingering semi ambient pieces. The production is rich and every detail feels crafted. Unfortunately this approach loses momentum as the album continues. When every song sounds like an ending, you expect it to end. It stops being grandiose and becomes a bit bloated. The huge feelings start to feel aimless or a little deceiving. The quality always remains solid but its purpose not so much. (Edited)

It's exactly what you would expect to hear from an M83 record. Poppy Electronica. No problem with that but it was just better on Hurry Up...
