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 14.2.

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.

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.

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

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

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

Thank you to Mikael Åkerfeldt for this lovely recommendation.

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

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