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 16% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.0/100, a mean average of 72.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.8.

This is Sydney, Australia, brother-sister duo Angus & Julia Stone's best album, whose flavor is probably best summarized by Angus's observation in "Yellow Brick Road": "I fell in love with California." This album's twee folk stylings lean heavily on California influences such as Fleetwood Mac and Joanna Newsom, a formula that works best on tracks such as the smooth and soaring "Big Jet Plane."
