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 77.9/100, a mean average of 77.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.2.

There are moments of beauty - the gorgeous opener, #Strafford and 8(circle) - but for me, it's a frustrating listen. I think its scattershot and oblique for the sake of being scattershot and oblique, and some of the songs just feel lazily scrapbook.
I really tried to like this, honestly. It's not a bad album, by any means, I think I just have to reconcile that I'm not the biggest fan of Bon Iver.
Some wonderful moments, some not so. The more melodic and accessible the songs, the better. Still, it is a brave record and it doesn't out stay it's welcome and I'm sure it has yet to fully hit me yet. A challenging album, which I hope will reward me with a great record, but I'm not quite there yet. A few more listens maybe?

This is the first Bon Iver album I decided to listen to. And I could NOT have been less prepared for it. I had no idea what kind of sound i was walking into, and I feel like I am floating in the asteroid belt and the asteroids keep zooming past me, almost hitting me. Its so thrilling and calming at the same time.

A few times in, and Im still in a bit of a hung-jury bewilderment. While I think it's certainly an interesting foray into the increasingly trendy world of folk-y-tronica and in many ways an expected and more organic than not next step for Vernon, I think it at times focuses a bit too much on the needle and doesn't always knot the thread. It takes a somewhat familiar path to an almost completely new universe, but seems to be in a bit of a repose to truly jump into the wormhole and discover something completely truly fantastical: the songs are gushedly meticilous in their composition & richly textured but never quite seem to reach their full potential, feeling more like intensely colored sketches rather than a full set of tapestries. At this point all I can say is it's an often lovely but still very frustrating near-miss from Bon Iver, but perhaps I can find some missing Eureka! moments with a few listens.

Astonishingly beautiful. Justin Vernon is a genius. Too early to say whether I prefer this to A Moon Shaped Pool, but it's definitely up there as one of the albums of the year.
