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 6% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.0/100, a mean average of 77.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 7.5.

Much like Iron & Wine, Bonnie "Prince" Billy has been honing his song craft from a "4 track"-like DIY beginning to where he can pump out songs that sound as authentic as they are beautiful; authentic as in poems possibly coming from his own diary pages. And he actually sounds happy for once, which gives these songs a warmth that hasn't been present before, which you can hear in the layered harmonies as on "easy does it". Check out the recalled comfort of "you reminded me of something (the glory goes)" and the basstone hues on "for every field there's a mole". Lush and relaxing without being boring with a voice that seems wise beyond his years.
