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 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 80.9/100, a mean average of 79.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.5.

Joanna is pure love packed into one ultra special woman. (Edited)
At slightly more than two hours, this album seriously challenges Newsom's talents. With a little more variation of style, it would be even better. (Edited)
An outstanding album that is mature, instrumentally diverse and makes for an absolutely beautiful listen. It is stunning to listen to the cohesiveness of this record with each instrument playing a role and feeling important. There is so much to discover as well with it being so rich, grand and multi layered. It would be near impossible to revisit this record and not find something new or exciting that you can enjoy. Overall, this is an album full of musical brilliance and if it is given some time and patience you will fall in love with her quality.
There’s no doubt that the album is full of beauty and great writing but it seems that the project is too ambitious for its own good and ends up growing tiresome unfortunately. (Edited)

I was kind of disappointed. I want to like her music so bad but I just can’t. I love the harp, I love her voice, but all that extra instrumentation and extra song format is so unnecessary. If it was just her, a harp and nothing else making simple 3-5 minute songs, this would be a 100/100 album for me. I listened to it because Anthony Fantano aka theneedledrop rated this album top 20 out of 200 best albums of the decade 2010s and he has heard anything and everything for music. I was expecting something stripped down and beautiful but that was only half the case I suppose. I’m not a hater but I just think she’s not using all her tools in her toolbox to make the greatest album she possibly could. I’ll check out Divers next to see if it’s any different
If anybody can recommend me a harpist and singer songwriter that’s like Joanna, I’d be interested in hearing them. Thanks
A quite magnificent achievement. Up there with Black Star and Channel Orange as my favourite album from 2010 to 2019. So many classics with Easy, Good Intentions Paving Company and the California being my absolute faves.
Awesome album. This and Ys are some of the best albums of the 21st Century.
Favorites: Have One On Me, Good Intentions Paving Co., In California, Occident, Does Not Suffice.

Everytime I hear her voice, it reminds me of the movie "the strangers'

Have One on Me; Baby Birch; You and Me, Bess; and Does Not Suffice are perfect.

Any one of these three discs alone would be good enough to be album of the year. Put all three together, and there really isn't any doubt.
