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 5% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.0/100, a mean average of 76.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.3.

some of the most deeply emotional and beautiful recordings ever made
She evokes such strong emotion with just her voice and guitar. I love the echo effect when she sings. The end of tiniest lights is so amazing when she sings shine! shine!
This album has such an interesting sound, with just her and the guitar. It sounds like her voice is echoing from a building or something. I love the way she sings "shine" at the end of tiniest lights.

#1; fucks me up proper
Raw, unpolished expression. Pure intimate beauty in the same vein as Roman Candle and Pink Moon
