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 73.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.8.

Terrific addition to Laura Marling's catalogue; very mature song writing abilities for someone so young. Extremely impressive.
How could a 20-year-old have written such a mature album? Incredible.
Supurb album. Fantastic depth, lyrics and great songwriting. One of the most complete albums I have heard in a long time.
The c*nt that gave this 33/100 should have his hearing checked.
