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 4% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.4/100, a mean average of 75.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.0.

A great big double album with plenty of great songs - 12 of the 33 are great, great songs including Trouble With Dreams, The Other Shoe, Things the Grandchildren Should Know and the too short "Dusk: Peach In The Orchard"
The Eels or Mark E's greatest moment. Blinking lights, is a lovely concept album of life, and is an Americana classic. Some great tracks, especially closing cut, the grandchildren should know, it's one of the most beautiful and emotional songs I've ever heard. A masterpiece.
Because of the little instrumental tracks/vignettes this is not an album that is easy to rate solely on tracks alone but as a whole is second only to Electro Shock Blues in the Eels studio catalogue. It may take a couple of listens to really grow on you so don't give up on it!

While I think "Electroshock Blues" was E's magnum opus, this is pretty close. A truly special songwriter.
Track picks: The Other Shoe / Ugly Love / Things The Grandchildren Should Know
