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 8% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.2/100, a mean average of 74.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.6.

If you are interested in studying the capabilities of the human voice, few albums can top this.

I hate a capella. Leave it to Björk to make me love something I otherwise hate. There's no sense of pretension anywhere to be found here, which is usually what I hate about music like this. Some of the beatboxing sounds a bit dated and cheesy, but the execution otherwise is flawless.

Beautiful Acapella album by Bjork. It's really something else. Definitely one of the only artists that could and has pulled off an album like this

Afasta-se um pouco do house e fica ainda mais experimental.

Wait a minute, I actually never gave a response for this record. But to make this short and sweet, not only is this my favorite Bjork record. It is also in my top 5 for the 2000's. Such an amazing record.
