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 is rated in the top 23% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.5/100, a mean average of 74.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.4.

“December 31st, 2015 This is definitely one of the more interesting albums I've listened to recently. Leila's production on this just feels like it's from another planet, in a good way. It's equally dreamy, ethereal, noisy, and off-beat, often times all at the same time. That might sound like it…”

This record should have been called "When You Wake You're Still In A Dream". A wonderful mixture and nu-soul vocals, noise and lullabies, sometimes all of these in the same track - and always very coherent. Shame this artist (Björk's former keyboards player) isn't quite getting the recognition her originality deserves. Beautiful.

Sounds inventive, but I cannot fell in love with this album.
Neither the sound nor the melodies are exatly my thing.
