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 10% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.8/100, a mean average of 73.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.0.

I liked most of the songs, arrangements and playing on this album, the music is well put together. However I didn't care for the weepy string-laden ballads, nor the a capella (personal dislike). What makes the album quite special is how Sinead O'Connor bears her soul in the lyrics and vocal performance - shades of Alanis Morissette to come.

This highlights what an amazing voice she has. Good mix of tempo on the different tracks. Good variety as well. Love the string & orchestral arrangements. Better songs in the front half. Tails off near the back.

Connors lowkey, almost whispering vocals is used in most songs and that loses effect very soon. Despite that, this album has some nice tracks 77/100

An album that is curiously middle-heavy. Not terrible.
