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 has a Bayesian average rating of 73.2/100, a mean average of 72.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.3.

Back when I was a DJ for my college station, some of the staff at the station pasted little reviews onto the covers of new albums as they came in. I remember when I first saw the review for this one: it was the most effusive that I ever saw during my time there (with the possible exception of the one for Galaxie 500's This Is Our Music). The review began with an observation about the perfect pathos of the opening lines to "Gratitude Walks": "Why don't you be good for something / And draw down the shade?" Much as I found some of my peers at the station condescending and pretentious, I couldn't disagree with their assessment of this record; it is gorgeous, meticulously crafted, alternately piano- and guitar-driven, with moments of sly humor. Perfection.

You drank enough to fund the bartender's gambling addiction, so it's the least he can do to listen to you vent about the crushing weight coming down on you.
