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 4% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.6/100, a mean average of 76.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.4.

Wainwright delivers another wonderful album of neo-classic pop. He closes out this collection with a moving re-imagining of The Beatles "Across The Universe" supported by John Lennon's son, Sean, on acoustic guitar. No sophomore slump is evident here.

Rufus wainwright's second album is another stunning record from a giant talent. Poses, has a more alternative feel to it than his self titled debut, and is no worse for that. Cigarettes and chocolate milk, opens the album, but the version of the song that ends the CD is far superior than this one. Greek song, is brilliant, as is the title track. Other standouts are, the consort, rebel Prince, and, one man guy, a superb cover of a song written by his father, Loudon, it's excellent. All in all, another amazing record from Wainwright.

Wainwright is very underrated... he has a beautiful voice, he writes incredible music, and he's slowly becoming one of my favorites.
