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 has a Bayesian average rating of 61.2/100, a mean average of 60.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 60.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 23.0.

Álbum crescente, resgate do folk, mas na máxima potência do pop.

This generation's Dave Matthews? Dunno. Part of me says, put aside your prejudice and realize it's decent music and "real" and the other part of me says this is trash... somewhere in between is probably that truth.
LOOK GUYS THE BANJO-POP IS BACK.
"What are they going to do?"
Sigh No More Part 2?
Same tune of the first album. Acoustic guitars, mandolins and banjo all over on folk songs.
This is my favorite album of theirs. They are my favorite band, so I'm being biased when I say that every single one of their records is amazing. This album introduced me to Mumford. My favorite track: "Whispers in the Dark."

it's really not as bad as people say.
For pop music, I'd even say this is pretty good

J'aime bien , mais préférence pour leur premier album Sigh no more
Very bland, and I really enjoyed their first
Sigh No More was such an awesome album but this one's fell short. The tracks are really cheerful but repititive.
My favorites ones are Lover of the light and I Will Wait. The others ones are an Ok for me.
I hope that their third album would be better than this one.
