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 has a Bayesian average rating of 70.5/100, a mean average of 68.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 19.9.

“Exactly what I wanted it to be. Always been a big fan of Julianna Barwick's looped choral vocals and layered atmospheric synths, so adding a harpist into the mix only adds to the beautiful soundscape. There's a cover of "Rachel's Song" from Vangelis' Blade Runner soundtrack which is unexpected. The…”

There is a harp and an ethereal voice all through the album which make this a pleasant, but not a very exciting listen. Some of the tracks drag a bit. The songs are quite long in general. I liked Rachel's Song the best, and Stardust is also a nice track. Not enough variety in the music for me, and maybe some lyrics to the songs might have helped, but I do love the harp and the accompanying voice. It reminded me of the singer Enya at times. (Edited)
