Dancer With Bruised Knees ratings

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 8% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.9/100, a mean average of 74.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.3.

Had the first album before this which most people would say is their best. But something about this, every harmony, every bit of instrumentation even when it's quirky, works beautifully.

Their first album might be better overall, but it doesn't have "Blanch comme la neige/Perrine etait servante"..It is one of my most favorite album tracks of any genre, partly in french based on a 16th century tune, but perfectly arranged and captures a mood that I have never heard outside of renaissance music...
