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 15% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.1/100, a mean average of 74.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 10.9.

With every PJ Harvey album, I find myself thinking, "This doesn't sound like anything she's done before." Then, after I've listened to it a few times, it starts to make more sense as part of her catalog. So, too, with this one. It's technically a collaboration between Harvey and John Parish, and is billed as such. But given that Parish has been so involved with Harvey's previous albums, including a previous credited collaboration, I am not sure the distinction means much to anyone but Parish.
