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 5% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.2/100, a mean average of 76.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 9.5.

The best showcase so far for Angel Olsen's extraordinarily lofty vocals and natural talents as a performer, even if the songwriting still seems to be playing a bit of catch up. While Half Way Home may lack a good number of remarkable moments or stand-out tracks, Olsen's voice is the real star here. She is definitely something special and should be fascinating to watch as she grows as a composer and songwriter.
