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 7% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.2/100, a mean average of 75.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.9.

Great comeback. Amnesia is my favourite.
It's sublime. No other words for it.

I don't think I'm surprised by the content but surely it's satisfying. I feel Lisa has kept her voice in a great shape and somehow Brendan's singing is more evocative. This is a strong comeback anyway.

On my opinion, it is the band's best album. Liza demonstrates deep and strong vocals that are highly emotional, and Brendan Perry shows tonns of musical mastery in arrangements and melodies, even more than on the previous albums.
