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 5% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.2/100, a mean average of 75.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.0.

What's not to like? This album is as solid as Keep it Like a Secret, but without the obvious high points ("Carry the Zero"), The cover art sucks though

I see a change of pace from last album, but I still think they have it! 8/10.
favourite song: trimmed and burning

First and only Built to Spill album I've listened to. Very interested to listen to Perfect From Now On here shortly, but also interested to see how it stacks up.
I'd say half of this album is fantastic and the other half is ok.

This was the 5th BtS release, but for me it was the follow-up to the album that blew me away and hooked me as a fan, 1999's "Keep it Like a Secret." So it's no surprise that this one was a disappointment and would fail to measure up in my eyes. Listening again several years later, it turns out it's a pretty damn good album, albeit not quite as good as "Keep it Like a Secret." The lead track "Strange" is my favorite here, with "Trimmed and Burning" and "The Weather" following close behind.
