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 has a Bayesian average rating of 63.6/100, a mean average of 60.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 60.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 23.6.

This is not an easy album to love. It represents Björk at her most experimental (to date!), and whilst there are moments on this record which chime with some of what she had done previously, it is largely made up of vocal fragments and sounds which do not. The instrumentation is often delicate (and there are hints of other albums: Medúlla and Volta, for example), but equally it is frequently a difficult listen. Will Oldham's appearance (on the first track) is a welcome one, and sometimes Björk really hits it, but too often we're a little wide of the mark, especially considering what has been produced before.
