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 22% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.8/100, a mean average of 74.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.8.

While it's not my favorite Neko Case record, this is still a really cool album. Beautifully produced, emotive and adventurous, and surprisingly prog-y. A little lackluster in the middle, but otherwise, a solid record.

Better than average. Her voice reminds me of Kirsty McColl and that's a really good thing. Some excellent tracks and some not so excellent. Halls Of Sarah is really good.

It took me a few listens but I'm there now ... this really is a good album

Opener and title track the Fiona Apple-esque "Hell-On" is great as is album highlight the wonderfully compelling duet "Curse of the 1-5 Corridor" and "Last Lion of Albion"

Unfortunately a couple of tracks don't work in the awful "Bad Luck" and lame closer "Pitch or Honey " ending things on a disappointing whimper , but the remaining tracks are more than solid

Overall this album just works and its going into my best for 2018 album list

Nice work from the New Pornographer

Oh. My. God. Check out the way Neko fixed everything lacking in Eric Bachmann's "Sleep All Summer". It's an absolute heart breaker now. The highlight of another very good release from Ms Case. Repeated listenings required.
