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 69.4/100, a mean average of 68.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 68.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.7.

A very personal album by Annie all tracks written by her and it is an album that deals with a failed relationship it takes a few listens but when it sinks in it hits you hard. A very melancholy album and for me her best.
This is a very fine album. Excellent compositions, performances, and production. It's the soulful pop she's known for and has very deep themes of loss and existential meaning exploration. (Edited)
I love Annie Lennox but I just can't get into this album.
