Rating metrics: Help 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 23% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.6/100, a mean average of 74.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 10.3.

A very Siouxsie and The Banshees esque sound on this record. Impressive release considering how young Björk was and how established her style was so early on. Einar's vocals can be somewhat off putting at times, however that may add to the uncomfortable atmosphere that this album seeks to provide. Many listeners will be confused with the track titles as they're jumbled up on the digital release (e.g. Spotify). Faves: Dismembered, Open The Window And Let The Spirit Free and Anna

Björk's first album if I'm not mistaken (excluding the one she made when she was a child). And it will not disappoint. The Eye is dark, atmospheric, and nuanced. It's one of the most atmospheric punk records I've ever heard.
