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 4% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.5/100, a mean average of 75.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.0.

I gave this a listen on a day when I was feeling very stressed and this managed to really calm me down :)) (Edited)
The real highlight of "My Back Was A Bridge For You To Cross" is ANOHNI's vocal performance. She sings with such passion, packing every syllable with emotion. The opening track "It Must Change" is powerful with how the chorus is used to switch from empowerment to desperation to righteous anger. The instrumentals are well put together soul. They are not particularly eventful, but do a fantastic job supporting the vocals. It may have helped the album if they were given a flourish or moment to be the focus. Great performance, lovely record. (Edited)
