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 72.5/100, a mean average of 72.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.6.

After listening to their new 2020 album I wanted to listen to the other albums of this band I didn't really know and this is my third one and again it is certainly not a disappointment. I absolutely adore the sweet voice Karen Petis (which sounds a bit like Harriet Wheeler) but the other good thing is the band always finds a way to make the already good (and very soft) songs a little extra by adding some interesting guitar part or some other magical touch. I'm a fan and look forward to hear their other albums as well.

Sounding like a 5 year old kindergartener, Lead Vocalist Karen Petis, brings to mind Sixpence None The Richer vocalist Leigh Nash. Yet while Nash's voice is an acquired taste, Petis ' harmonies with husband/bandmate really work effectively. There will also be comparisons to The Sundays, that will be fitting and appropriate.

This was great. Pleasant, soulful and pretty mellow. Recommend this to Tilly heavily. And to go through 99 with this one first means this will be fun.
