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 8% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.3/100, a mean average of 76.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.0.

Got a lot of that Malkmus vibe, which I like. But that didn't make me care.

Reviewing this album for the Onion's A.V. Club, Joshua Klein writes that Chore of Enchantment "is the product of a land [frontman Howe Gelb's native southern Arizona] populated by bleached cow bones, saguaros, and peyote, a spare and spooky platform for Gelb's flights of poetic fancy. The music is so evocative that the songs can best be described by what they recall rather than how they sound: moonlit highways, flickering campfires, stars peeking out from behind mountainous silhouettes, and generator-powered home studios packed with antique and obscure instruments. For the less abstract-minded, 'Neil Young jamming with The Flatlanders in Death Valley' will probably do fine." Here Gelb teams up with Calexico founders and longtime collaborators Joey Burns and John Convertino to make Giant Sand's finest album, whose best song, "Shiver," is as ghostly and lonesome as moonrise over the Santa Catalina Mountains.
