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 is rated in the top 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 82.6/100, a mean average of 81.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 82.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.1.

Vocally, tonally and sonically just beautiful. This album makes me feel like I'm floating on an endless vacation in the most beautiful place on earth.

This is such an easy album to enjoy and fall in love with. This is because the vocal and musical stylings just sound so satisfying and sweet to the ears. The music just seems to float on by as you get sucked into this tranquil atmosphere that is thoroughly enjoyable to be a part of. They do this through the use of some delicate and beautiful instrumentation which sounds so blissful on songs like Your Protector and White Winter Hymnal. Another huge factor in the success of this album is the vocal work with both the harmonies and lead vocal sounding fantastic. They help to create this serenity for the listener which is a really unique and impressive feat to accomplish. Overall, this is one of those albums that is just so full of beauty and calmness that it makes it so easy to revisit over and over again as it is that fantastic.

The music has a mystical kind of quality to it for folk music. Not a favorite for me but it has its moments for greatness. No weak songs or filler. I'd say I listen to this album for its singing mostly. Not saying the rest of the album or music isn't great just not my cup of tea. There's so many ways to listen to music for its qualities. If someone can tell me how else to listen to this album, I'd be curious. I mostly listen to the art of sound and I don't think that's how you listen to this particular album...

It’s such a callback to an older musical style that it almost feels like you’re being put on.

That said, it’s good music, played well. Production is good too.

Really beautiful. The vocal harmonies, though occasional, are a highlight for me.
