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 11% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.5/100, a mean average of 73.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.3.

Ethereal and brilliant. PJ Harvey pulls off the trick of sounding unlike anything else she has released, but distinctively her. (Edited)

The whimsical, folksy, and at times haunting PJ comes to the fore here. It’s melodically beautiful and a captivating listen. I prefer this to Let England Shake.
I see everyone saying this gets better with each listen, so I anticipated my opinion will only improve over time. With that being said, I really enjoyed it as a first impression.
Sufjan stevens javelin in this moment is for me the best album in 2023 (Edited)
