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 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 80.6/100, a mean average of 80.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.1.

I had never heard of this artist before today. Imagine my surprise!! The album is superb and sounds good on a playlist that includes 1970 legends Velvet Underground and Nico. (Edited)

Own: coloured label US Kapp original LP, 1968. This is THE female acid folk album. I don't think any other can quite compare, though there are contenders. It sounds wonderful, so it is possible. (Edited)

Wow. a previously unknown artist makes Joni Mitchell jealous. Imaginative, original, and unique. Warmly recommended (Edited)

Gorgeous! Amazing lyrics, beautiful voice, and an amazing use of effects (very odd for a folk album). Like Joni Mitchell-meets-Jefferson Airplane. (Edited)

Holy cow this is good. Cosmic, fluttery, and psychedelic.

Thank you to Mikael Åkerfeldt for this lovely recommendation. (Edited)

Beautiful early 70s folk guitar singer-songwriter album. For those who enjoy Nick Drake, Vashti Bunyan, Joni Mitchell, Fairpoint Convention, etc. (Edited)

If only the whole album was as good as the title track. I don't think I paid enough attention to the latter half of the album though, so I'll be back for a relisten for sure. :P

This is stunning! Way better than the likes of Nico and Joni Mitchell as far as I'm concerned. (Edited)
