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 10% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.7/100, a mean average of 73.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.3.

Interesting genre clash of classical, indie guitar and electronica, music always interesting, but not amazing the vocals are intriguing but may be a tad annoying.

Clever, distinctive, and quite powerful. The opening track is one of my favourites of the decade.

I Am Not Afraid is fantastic

Interesting album, but I feel that Owen is sometimes a bit over ambitious and artsy fartsy.
