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 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 80.3/100, a mean average of 79.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.0.

Yes believe all the hype. I can't even listen to the studio version anymore. He's past the grieving phase and into acceptance. The songs have blossom on the live stage with the extra ornamentation of the other musicians. The synths are a great addition. I think this might be the best Sufjan album given that C&L was just too minimalistic and depressing to put it over Illinois - this fixes all my qualms w/ the album version and it has all of the gutwrenching sorrow (4th of July) but Stevens seems to be more at peace which makes for a lot less painful of a listen.

It sounds like a version of Carrie and Lowell removed from the post death depression.. and it. Is. Spectacular.
The same gut wrenching sorrow, but with a much larger sound. I am SO impressed.

The Expectations were surpassed, believe the hype kids, Sufjan allows Carrie & Lowell to bloom in various possible ways, a tree that has dozens different types of flowers from roses to violets.

Wow, Futile Devices is much better than studio version, And I thought that was imposible...
Speechless. AOTY.

The definitive aoty
