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 7% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.2/100, a mean average of 75.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.9.

A perfect sound. I've never heard anything in this style approaching how great this is. Leaving the vocal aside it's instrumentality brilliant but with that vocal over the top it's next level. Completely effortlessly cool.

If there's a better guitar sound and chord changes by this guy playing on this track I've yet to hear it. Trying to play it reveals how skilful and lovely it is. Great voice has Julie

Oh, I love that guitar and bass aesthetic...what a sleepy, dream atmosphere. London’s voice lilting over top is divine. Nice studio technique shown here too, such as the vocals in the codas to both “Cry Me A River” and “I Love You”.

Underappreciated and almost forgotten this lady had a great instrument. The production and arrangements fit her voice perfectly.
