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 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.2/100, a mean average of 76.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.0.

Overall solid folk album. It wasn't my speed, I'm picky with folk and skew more towards lyrics and voice compared to other genres (which didn't do it much for me on this).
Plutôt un bel album avec parfois des arrangements très réussis.
A slow-burn, methodical, grower of an album and one I’ll be coming back to for sure…
This is a well-crafted record. Can't fault her voice and there's a sort of quiet power about the whole thing.

What a legend. 10 years in the making? Fair enough. Who needs endless treading of water, year upon year? Classic. Tour please.
If any of you are into classical music, listen to this extraordinary recording of Symphony No.3 by Henryk Górecky and Beth. Unbelievable!
Probably my AOTY so far - every track is great, her voice conveys so much depth and feeling.

Exactly what you'd expect from a Beth Gibbons solo joint; haunting, beautiful, incredibly well written, somehow archaic and fresh at the same time.
