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 72.8/100, a mean average of 70.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.2.

Proof that the day of artists producing difficult, boundary pushing albums is far from over, Hopelessness is a dazzling and thought-provoking piece of work. Leaving behind the previous baroque-rock stylings of before for a more contemporary, electro feel this is a brave and exciting step forward for ANOHNI.
Huge album, one of the best this year so far. Stagnant at some points but carries itself nicely.
For an album I really didn't have much expectation for, I thoroughly enjoyed this. From the vocals, to the catchy instrumentation and obviously the socially conscious lyrics, this album is a must listen to any fan of the synthpop genre.
After a couple of record where Antony seemed to have lost his ispiration, he changed his name, his sex, and made the best 2016 record.
A stunning production by Oneohtrix and beautiful voice and caustic lyrics by Anohni.
A haunting, beautiful beast. This is a protest record alright and Anohni captivates track after track, with that gorgeous voice of hers. The instrumentation is lush, varied and compliments it nicely. One of the best of 2016.
