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 71.1/100, a mean average of 70.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.0.

Despite a handful of strong tracks, Schmilco fails to ever shift into the esteemed high gear of "essential listening" for anyone but the most devoted Wilco fan. Check out "Normal American Kids", "If I Ever Was a Child", "Cry All Day", and "Happiness". The rest of the album isn't bad by any means, just inoffensively forgettable.
The first time I listened to this I thought it was so boring. I didn't listen to it again for another two years. Then I gave it another spin and I liked it. At this point I absolutely love it, probably my second favorite album of their's behind Yankee. It's not experimental or groundbreaking or whatnot but the songs really speak to me. If you like this, definitely check out Tweedy's solo albums Warm and Warmer which are similar and also excellent.
best tracks: if i ever was a child, normal american kids
I prefer Wilco when they're at their querkiest, so this album is a good one for me. It's pretty new and I expect will soon go up the Wilco album mini chart
nothing WOW! but, not bad...just regular good wilco album...
I have the same problem with this albums like I have with Star Wars. It doesn't feel like a real Wilco-album. Both albums feel like some songs from a demo tape. It's a nice compilation of songs that didn't fit on the regular albums. This a not the visonary songs that made Wilco great.
It feels like The Whole Love is the last regular album from Wilco. Still I hope that they will release some more
This record is very easy on the ears ^-^ <3

meh...
Wilco being Wilco which is never a bad thing, although I feel like there's a slight decline in the quality of their lyricism.
I like the mood of this album.
