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 4% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.8/100, a mean average of 76.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.7.

Best compilation album ever!

Found this totally accidentally after watching The Blind Side. Really glad I found it, though, as I really love a lot of these songs, especially anything with Jose Gonzales, Sufjan Stevens, Justin Vernon, or Iron and Wine.

It's difficult for compilations to work -- soundtrack songs are often forced and soundtracks are usually padded with "incidental" instrumental music, covers compilations often pale in comparison to the original songs and other compilations, even if stacked with good songs, usually don't sound like cohesive ALBUMS. But this is the rare instance where a compilation album, and a TWO CD compilation at that, is not only packed with good songs but also feels like a collaborative effort with album-vision oversight, even with the usual compilation oddities of old-time performers combining with new stars (the dirty projectors create their best song this side of "stillness is the move" with david byrne), oddball covers (I really hope sufjan stevens follows the muse that created the castanets cover) and touching duets (that feist & ben gibbard duet is quite affecting).
