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 8% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.9/100, a mean average of 73.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.0.

Love how eclectic it is. Love Sinéad as a vocal personality. Wish I found the songwriting and production more consistently engaging. Still, this is really good. (Edited)
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. (Edited)
I should be like her appointment some time all rights. (Edited)

Intenso e boa pegada folk.
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.
