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 has a Bayesian average rating of 72.1/100, a mean average of 72.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.0.

Writing for Pitchfork, Patric Fallon describes Lydia Ainsworth on Right from Real in this way: "It's still difficult to discern Ainsworth's concrete artistic identity. She's a formally trained singer, musician, and composer with an interest in Baroque art, who also refers to contemporary dance choreographers as "genius"; she's an artist who performs her music flanked by a violinist and a cellist, but has no problem adding a live snake into her onstage arrangement; her songs rely as much on the delicate '80s pop of Peter Gabriel's So as they do 19th century choral music and Bulgarian folk singing." That's a pretty clear summary of what makes this album both genuinely enjoyable and a bit of a jumbled, puzzling listen, since the album never really coheres into a style that draws from each of these traditions. Rather, it's more of a generally appealing kitchen sink approach.
