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 has a Bayesian average rating of 72.5/100, a mean average of 72.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.1.

From Rhyner 04/22/2024 18:27 in What album are you listening to right now?
“(my fifth listen in two days; evaluating it for rating/chart placement) I am so in love with Laura Marling that I just can't stand it.She's great. I think this is probably my least favorite album of hers, but she's incapable of making bad music so this is still very much worth listening to.”

“Ok I am playing. Good game. Last chart to be mentioned was baystateofhearts's Top albums of 2015. I had a look through. A very nice, diverse chart. The few albums I know on it. I am wanting to improve my knowledge of 2010's music because I don't know a lot of it. SO I am going with your recently…”

“After the YOB, I listened to which was better than her list effort, but didn't really hit me in any special way. Decent indie folk Next up is which was has a wonderful atmosphere! Futuristic-feeling Djent, ahh, lovely! After that, I popped in GREAT Progressive Rock that takes hints from jazz rock…”

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.
