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 77.4/100, a mean average of 77.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.3.

As the years went by, Songs: Ohia albums only got more rootsy, more bluesy, more folksy, and more Americana-y, culminating in this, their penultimate studio album, though I use the term "studio" loosely because like most of their work (prior to their last album, "Magnolia Electric Co."), it sounds like it was recorded in a barn, probably one with actual farm animals in it. There's plenty of their usual downbeat subdued melancholia going on here for the fans, and all but one of the tracks clock in at over 5:50 so nobody is going to accuse them of being terse. This band is an acquired taste, sort of like cheap whiskey. I don't drink whiskey personally, but I can see why some people would. (Edited)
