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 is rated in the top 15% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.1/100, a mean average of 74.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.9.

After a few listens, I didn't hate this as much as Casanova.
This album is a rare gem. All the songs are sublime. Fun and sometimes strange lyrics (If you were a tree, I would carve my name into your side and you will not cry, because trees don't cry)point that this valentine album is not your average love album. The music is grand, with big orchestration, that give it a lush feel. This album is highly recommended.
