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 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.5/100, a mean average of 77.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.8.

The music is really good, but the vocals completely suck the emotion out of the songs. It's almost like she's deadpanning her vocals.

Starts off very strong but is far too experimental for it's own good. The good is absolutely brilliant and as haunting as an abandoned mansion, but there's too many loose and unnecessary arrangements that stops this album from reaching it's full potential. " A flat out masterpiece".

Maybe, but she's a witch. Has me everytime she sings. Extraordinary presence.
Their best album with one of the best opening tracks I've ever heard
Good album Hope Sandoval preferred to shy away from the public eye. Which added more mystery to their music . She is so beautiful and in away was a good thing made her more likeable without knowing much
I'm glad she did it her way
