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 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.0/100, a mean average of 76.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.8.

Lovely and contemplative set. First release in the wake of tragic passing of Mary Hansen however theres no self pitying here. More a smooth cab sav then a bold Shiraz Margerine Eclipse is perhaps better than several of their more heralded albums. (Edited)

Laetitia Sadier's moody delivery dominates and evokes just the correct emotions for this reflective,yet energetic, set. The album is dedicated in memory of former member Mary Hansen. A fine effort considering the circumstances under which it was created. (Edited)
