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 77.6/100, a mean average of 76.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.6.

An incredibly inspired, otherworldly, captivating, dramatic album. Her ethereal shapeshifting voice, the beautiful, brutally unconventional but highly accomplished arrangements... It's as if she's conjuring a new world into existence with the power of sound. I want to live inside this album and watch the comings and goings of its shadow people.

This is the one album that can always calm me down, transport me to that ethereal otherworld...
Absolutely enlightened.
I want to comment on this album but I'm genuinely struggling at what to say about it. Much of it seems familiar, yet it's unlike anything I've ever heard. It is just brimming with ideas, and seamlessly shifts between calming, dreamy, and downright frightening. Her voice, while "clean" and soothing seems like it's out of this world at times. One of my 2013 favourites so far, for sure.
Now I need to listen to Tragedy and Ekstasis ...
Glad to see this one climbing the charts. There's something revelatory about the cacophonous bursts occasionally interrupting the gentle dreamscapes.
I don't feel like this is very accessible, but wow is it atmospheric. Fair play to Julia Holter for making this sort of album. If I were to describe its feeling, it would be like walking home alone at nightime on a deserted street, visibility low and the knowing that someone or something is watching you. Maybe that's just me!
