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 73.4/100, a mean average of 72.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.1.

Hay buenas canciones y es relajante. Es buen disco para usarlo de fondo cuando buscamos concentración.

Shockingly fresh and beautiful album that transcends new age cliches with its timeless production and moving performances by a extremely talented singer.

This remains Enya's best outing. Orinico Flow was the big hit, but Storms in Africa is equally catchy. For a new age album, there is pretty good diversity in the rest.

The other album I own with a nice piano led opening track is Mellon Collie and The Infinite Sadness! They change a bit after that. Being serious I think this is the only so called 'New Age' album I own (unless J-M Jarre or Mike Oldfield are classed as that), and only picked it up because it was cheap 2nd hand, although I had, of course, heard various Enya tracks. It's a beautiful album, with a lovely clarity of vocal, and one I'm glad I bought.

My introduction to new age. Beautifully hypnotic and soothing, I still listen to Watermark every once in awhile.

Watermark is an enchanting polyphonic music - an album of rich abstract ballads and intensely epic symphonic classic pop that is hugely influential, particularly on new-age music.

It really is a work of art for such a pretentious genre. New Age usually is nothing but overly artsy bullshit, but this album is wonderful in all the right ways. A favorite for me.
