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 15% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.1/100, a mean average of 73.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.5.

Antony's voice was made for this. His crooning voice paired with Kim Ann Foxman's can really put the sparkle into the disco ball. Blind, You Belong (where Antony is near-breathtaking) and Raise Me Up are the stand out tracks with appropriate songwriting by the mastermind of the project, Andrew Butler. Hearty basslines, keyboards and horns fill out the juiciest morsels of dancefloor delights.

Antony's locals work amazingly on this. It's nice to know he can do the folksy stuff, but still do a disco-dance song, and make both work. Blind is the obvious best track, but other good ones include Hercules Theme & You Belong.
Blind is a fantastic song with energetic instrumentation, passionate vocals, and slick melodies. I'd say the other tracks also share these traits, but to a much lesser extent. Still enjoyable the whole way through though.

:O OKay, I'll give it another shot. Maybe I've grown! Update: There's no denying the talent here, and it is toe tapping, but it's still 80s disco. Best is whenever Antony is singing.
