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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 78.8/100, a mean average of 78.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.3.

I was brought to the attention of Angel Olsen when her last album was released. I didn't dabble on it too long, so I was intrigued when her name came up again when this record received a lot of praise.
It's definitely worth a listen. Olsen's singing is good, but her songs keep you interested with good variety and passion she presents here. This album will make Angel Olsen a sweetheart of the indie genre.
Track Pick: Shut Up Kiss Me

Angel Olsen took 6 years, 2 albums a bunch of singles and a superb EP to become an over night sensation on album number 3 “My Woman “. Of course those in the know who had followed her career from the beginning always understood what a special talent she was and eventually the genie would be out of the bottle and so it has come to pass
This album will become known as Angel Olsens transition album taking her from lonesome folk singer to fully fledged songstress which would be continued on and improved upon with the following release 2019’s excellent ‘All Mirrors’. And here’s the thing, ‘My Woman’ is actually a concept album about a relationship gone bad from a women’s perspective and if that sounds familiar it should - Mitski’s 2018 masterpiece ‘Be The Cowboy’ has the exact same narrative
AO has openly admitted ‘My Woman’ has a distinct Side A and Side B with the tracks Intern , Never Be Mine, Shut Up Kiss Me, Give it Up , Not Gonna Kill You and Heart Shaped Face representing the more uptempo tracks and the 2nd half ( Sister , Those Were The Days , Woman ,Pops ) a somber closing as things fall completely apart. Having listened to this album as many times as I have this narrative makes complete sense
‘My Woman ‘ is an album that takes several listens to fully appreciate, the first couple of spins you will be left wondering what all the fuss is about but perseverance is richly rewarded particularly Side B (Edited)

Man I hope this doesn't fly under the radar. Shut Up Kiss Me is one of the best singles of the year

Wistful, almost country tinged set. Fine, varied musical arrangements and she is a great vocalist. Will be high on many year end lists.

Both heartwarming and heartbreaking. Very few artists can achieve this. Despite her obvious influences, Angel Olsen is still one of a kind.
