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 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 80.5/100, a mean average of 79.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 80.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.9.

The good thing when releasing such a long album is that you have room to try new things, but also include some of your typical stuff, so that in the end there is something for everyone.
One of his best, consistently strong
Favorite Tracks:Cannibal's Hymn, There She Goes My Beautiful World, Nature Boy, Abattoir Blues, Let The Bells Ring, The Fable Of The Brown Ape, Breathless, Babe You Turn Me On
A sprawling diverse intimate expansive tour de force
Beatiful album. Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds are a little more folky on this one.

The Lyre Of Orpheus is definitely much stronger, every song is great, but Abattoir Blues has some friggin great songs like Get Ready For Love, There She Goes My Beautiful World, Nature Boy and Hiding All Away. As a big fan of Nick, I'd certainly say this is another one of his fantastic records, but not his 3rd best. Probably not top 5 either, but he still managed to continue his "incredible albums streak". What a musician.
