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 6% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.8/100, a mean average of 78.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.2.

One of the best of the year, for sure. A real hidden gem.

This is really a hugely underrated and highly ignored album. The songwriting is very good, his voice is unique and surprisingly expressive and the arrangements are killer. It never feels like Bondy is trying to do too much in here. The acoustic guitar and instrumentation is really well done as well. Listen to "Vice Rag", World Without End" and the beautifully romantic dream pop of "Lovers waltz" and decide for yourself.
