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 80.3/100, a mean average of 80.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.9.

Really enjoyable folk album. Adrianne’s lyrics yet again hit me at my core. I think that the songs aren’t as great as her last album or Big Thief’s last album, but it’s still solid. Looking forward to diving into this further because Adrianne’s writing has layers. I love the rawness of the writing on this album, as well as the production. This album felt very personal. It felt like hearing her play in her bedroom.
I have been listening to the track Ruined since it dropped and it hasn't left my head since. Looked forward to the album dropping and it did not disappoint. Song for song, Adrianne Lenker makes it sound so easy and hard at the same time. I love her voice and the words she puts together. Her new version of Vampire Empire completely knocked me over and prefer this version. No drums on album and you don't even notice... until you do, and it doesn't matter... early contender for AOTY.

Gorgeous. A richer step forward from songs. Maybe it wears on me a little by the second half, but it's still as gutting and edifying as anything Lenker's made thus far.
Rare to have an artist whose gifts for both melody and lyrics are so extraordinary. Terrific album. AOTY candidate for me.
Two years after Big Thief's fantastic Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe In You, frontwoman Adrianne comes through with another superb collection of tracks.
There isn't a bad song on here at all and I'd be surprised if I hear another folk album as good as this one all year
