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 72.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.6.

Ol Damo certainly takes his time releasing solo albums with this one 9 years on and counting remaining his most recent release. But, its a good un and if his next album is as half as good as this one its going to be worth the wait

Yes, it may not have that chorus or hook which you always remember, but musically I find it more profound than their previous albums and, especially, very different, which is to appreciate from an artist like him. The second half is weaker, still I find it an underrated album in this page in my opinion.

Damien Rice's long awaited follow up to, 9. My favourite faded fantasy, is a more mature work than the previous two LP's, but it's not as instantly memorable as those records. The songs are strong, albeit typically Rice like, but there certainly is no great tracks like, cannonball, or, Amie. Still, it improves with each listen, and who knows? In time, I might love it like I do, O, and, 9, but not yet.

Great album. Fantastic lyrics and beautiful ballads of gray. Well done Mr. Rice I have missed you a lot.

This is a masterpiece. An instant classic. An overwhelmingly beautiful and tragic work of art.
