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 25% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.5/100, a mean average of 73.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.3.

Although I loved the predecessor to this album, The Lion's Roar, particularly the song "Emmylou," which is in my pantheon of best-written songs ever, I nevertheless had my doubts about the staying power of First Aid Kit. I needn't have worried, though, as this follow-up cemented their place as one of the best acts of the 2010 Americana movement, and the fact that these sisters are from Sweden and not Eastern Tennessee only makes them that much more intriguing. What this album lacks in a single transcendent track is more than compensated for by its consistency and maturity.

Not as good as, The Lion's roar, but another enjoyable pop album with a strong country and folk influence. Kind of decent easy listening.
