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 72.5/100, a mean average of 72.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.3.

I've been torn with this album and its taken 4 full listens to arrive at my conclusion its ..... GOOD !
I've torn because there are several Americana bordering on Country tracks here such as 'EveryTime I Hear That Song ' , ' Hold Out Your Hand ' and 'Fulton County Jane Doe ' . Unfortunately Americana / Country just ain't my stick
BUT
Wow the lyrics , the lyrics weave incredible tales about being a Mother , her Dad , drug addiction , break up , heart ache just to name a few . I could listen to these stories all day . Lyrically stunning
Closer 'Party Of One ' saves the best till last with its piano and lush orchestra arrangement just gorgeous and an early contender for track of 2018 , lyric from this song
"Your constant over-thinking and secretive drinking ..."
This album is definitely on my 2018 best album list , and even though its February I recon its going to stay there

deductions for Americana/ Country tracks I'm not into

A heartbreaking tale. This is a perfect record for me, a couple of songs im not that into but great work nonetheless . Such an impeccable voice and incredible songwriting. If i were to list my favourites, it would take more than half of the songs here.

Wow. I discovered this with only 21 minutes to go before 2019 and it might have been the best first listen to any album this year. Really hear forward to play this again.

Underrated record that was in my opinion more deserving of Album of the Year than Golden Hour, although it wasn't nominated. It won best Americana album though and it certainly is that.

It took several listens before I started to get comfortable with some of these songs. You cannot deny the power of "The Joke" Great album that deserves it's awards.
