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 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 80.4/100, a mean average of 79.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 80.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.4.

Not sure what to comment about this album which hasn't already been said.
It's a cracker of a listen, get up and jump around when necessary and good to listen with others (Edited)
Human Behaviour was one of the greatest songs of the 90's. The best album I've heard from her. Full of transcendent rhythms that just hook you in. (Edited)
I don't understand how the other 3 Bjork albums are ranked higher.
Her music became more weird and edgy gradually after the debut.
Every song here is relatable, fresh danceable or interesting (Edited)
Originality of vocal performance, arrangements and percussion are impressive. I find Bjork's avant origins come to the surface in a lot of her singing, and in the arrangements on some tracks, e.g. "Aeroplane". I also liked the jazzy basslines on "Crying". The whole album is quite adventurous, with a detailed production.
The album has several musical styles depending on the track. "Big Time Sensuality" great electropop/house track, and nice trip hop on "Come to Me". The best parts of this album are phenomenal. If Bjork wrote stronger songs more consistently, the album could have been better. But I still like it. (Edited)
