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 68.1/100, a mean average of 64.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 64.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.5.

A promo sample for this album says : ''Hear the album the critics are raving about ...''. How are those critics ?
This album deserves higher ratings. A fantastic debut here, that manages to be complex, witty and literate as well as poppy. Fantastic production from Paul Draper really enhances the already great songs, and a powerful, distinctive delivery from Catherine A.D. (aka. The Anchoress) really makes this an essential 2016 listen.
Pleasant enough, but a little too upbeat and poppy for my taste
Somewhere between a Welsh version of Evanescence and No Doubt right about the time they did Spider Web's, this is a deep and fun album with great vocals and attitude that's palpable.
I would say there isn't much variety on the album and it gets stale at the half way point. A bit too melodramatic at times.
