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 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 82.8/100, a mean average of 82.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 83.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.6.

Been a fan since a year after Mercurial World came out. So I was not expecting anything this amazing. I was expecting another Madonna influenced album but what we got is completely original and not conventional. The whole album is lush front to back, very beautiful and interesting melodies. Easily in my top 50 albums of all time but I expect it to grow on me with more listens. Definitely my favorite album of the decade so far (Edited)

A bit like Marmite, you probably either love it or hate it. Personally, I think the album is amazing. (Edited)

Don't like her voice. Sounds weird, like a kid singing. (Edited)

This album is so much above anything I’d previously heard, it has just made me find sites like this and vote for it it’s a revelation in musical history. (Edited)
