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 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.2/100, a mean average of 78.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.0.

I enjoyed this one more than the rest of their work. This is also, to me, their weirdest and most experimental record. I wonder if there's a connection.
The best FF album in my opinion (heard GB, BB, and most of EP so far). Benton Harbor Blues hits close to home...
The one complaint I would have is that the last three tracks are a bit unnecessary.. Not bad, but Benton Harbor Blues would be an excellent closer, + the two reprises just seem worse than the original songs..
Cool stuff. "Benton Harbor Blues" & "Waiting to Know You" are two of my favorite tracks from the past decade. This album is never boring & flows better than their other efforts. Check it out.
