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 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.0/100, a mean average of 76.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.9.

One of the most stunningly beautiful debut albums ever. It's a Brilliant LP, obviously heavily influenced by John Barry, Sergio Leone, and, Shirley Bassey, is effortlessly fuses different styles and sounds to form something utterly original. Some great tracks in, utopia, human, and, deer stop. It's one of the best records of the 2000's.

This was a good record. A lot of qualities from this record I do like. From the seductive vocals to the surreal vibes. As well as the chilled trip hop and down tempo moments. But there are some songs that prevent me from giving it the highest praise. Still a good record for 2000 and the decade in general.

This album is a great arranging a musical celebration! At some points the album come to mind are big names in film music, in particular, Ennio Morricone. A great plate.

Goes on and on. Has a light mood, a desire to empty the emotions. Sepia music. Might put this on again but not today. (Edited)

A very striking debut. Unsettling, but magical all the same. Reminds me of Badalamenti's work on Lynch projects, but "Felt Mountain" is definitely its own project rather than a rehash of someone else's ideas, filled with its own little distinctive quirks. My favourite Goldfrapp record.
