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 is rated in the top 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.4/100, a mean average of 77.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.8.

Nice sounding album with a couple outstanding tracks (Halah, She Hangs Brightly, Ghost Highway, Before I Sleep), nothing mind-blowing, but I liked listening to it.

Would fit in nicely with the folk singers of the past. No fills here - just simple guitar and Ms. Sandoval's ethereal voice. Great stuff.

Drifting through the foggy haze, the ship found itself being drawn to shore by the singing siren.

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

The first three tracks are so excellent that I would want the rest of the album to remain the same, but it did not unfortunately. Hope's singing is lazily beautiful, astonishingly breathtaking and quite catchy all the way.

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.

Maybe, but she's a witch. Has me everytime she sings. Extraordinary presence.
