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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 78.4/100, a mean average of 77.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.3.

Classic Grimes, an amazing modern pop album, I would cut a track or two, but overall this introduced me to her and I appreciate it a lot. (Edited)

A quantidade de textura e a qualidade de batidas são extraordinária. Existe excelente álbuns pops e gênios do pop e Grimes é um exemplo.

A fantastically unique modern pop album that combines a lot of different genres together. You can definitely see the influences in the music which is great as they pay a subtle homage to those genres. The production is also brilliant with the record sounding so smooth and flawless. There is also a lot to explore and so many reasons to keep coming back to this record. However, some tracks are a little weaker and the record could do with some cuts as it does lack consistency. Overall, a fun and very enjoyable experience that I love to revisit.
