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 70.9/100, a mean average of 69.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.3.

I listened to this album a couple of times a year ago, and I forgot how good it actually is, VERY solid for a debut album.
Despite the somewhat patchy production, there's an undeniable charm to Marina's debut as it manages to boast both undeniable personality as well as an ambitious fusion of pop styles, which sometimes gets stunted a bit by the rudimentary execution but otherwise is quite charming despite the sonic limitations.
The family jewels has plenty of duds and honestly wouldn't suffer if a few songs like "I am a robot" were cut. Despite this there is a lot to love on here. The fusion of baroque and electro pop creates a memorable sound. Marina's voice and lyricism do a good job creating personality.
