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 71.4/100, a mean average of 70.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.2.

Beautiful and haunting from start to finish, sets one of the most melancholical moods ever. Trully underrated...

A truly depressing album... in a good honest way. Escape is so simple and you will be loved again are as real as it gets. Sun Comes Up, It's Tuesday Morning and cheap is how I feel are also great songs.
Calm and a lovely sit down album. Lots of tales here and nothing too scary.
