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 22% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.9/100, a mean average of 75.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.2.

minimalistic lovesongs.
Close to Nick Drake or Leonard Cohen.
Compelling
Robert Anton Wilson 08/20/2012 18:36
One of the most, if not the most, intimate PH album. This is mostly him at a conventional piano and singing. No odd noises, no experimentation, no sound effects. Juts a great singer and lyricist, his emotions and expert fingers on a piano.
