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 has a Bayesian average rating of 71.8/100, a mean average of 71.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.7.

A brilliant album from Richard Hawley. Standing at the sky's edge, was a pleasant surprise upon release. It sees Hawley embracing a psychedelic sound, full of drony guitar rock. It was totally unexpected and is a brilliant record showing us how capable Hawley is making superb leftfield turns. Standouts include, she brings the sunlight, down in the woods, and, don't stare at the sun. Great record.

Richard turn up the volume of the guitar amps. Loud and psycadelic as a 70's Neil Young album.

This is 60s-inspired psychadelic rock with a bit of Eastern flair mixed in. It feels like the sort of record Kula Shaker might have made if Crispian Mills had dialed back the mysticism a bit and focused on writing hooks.

There's great vocals to cheer about here if that's what you want. Lots of genre variety and it is all performed with excellence. The album is a throwback to the 70s and probably won't appeal to hipsters. If you appreciate good guitar playing and great vocals you can't help but enjoy this listen. I give the album 4 stars.
