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 72.6/100, a mean average of 72.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.3.

Liked the tracks Easy and Divine. This wasn't one of Marling's best efforts, but it still worth the buy.
The first half of, eagle, was great, but overall, I think this is a more consistent record from start to finish. She seems to get better as she gets older, although those Laurel Canyon obsessions still shine brightly, albeit quite beautiful. A very good album.

Not quite as consistently beautiful as Eagle, my favourite Marling so far, but also definitely distinct in sound and variation from all her previous work. Very good female artist.
Best song: "Gurdjeff's Daughter." Not one of my favorite albums by Laura Marling, but still amazing.

A little different than her previous albums but this is still great. Alongside her previous release she is becoming one of the greatest songwriters around and that hasn't changed.
