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 25% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.4/100, a mean average of 72.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.8.

Seems to flutter in and out from its own magic world, the place it comes back to tell stories from.
Less epic than Hadestown for sure, but still a wonderful album. Anais Mitchell has become one of the best and most literate songwriters around, and her last couple of albums have been very well produced. I saw her perform this album in a tiny, crowded music store earlier this year, and she seemed like a warm and charming person as well (and the sound quality is just as good live as in the studio).
