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 76.6/100, a mean average of 75.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.8.

A sincere, expressive album in which Tillman goes deep into his depressive feelings at the time and the love for the person who helped him out of it.
80/100
Solid album for Josh!
Pure Comedy is much better, but this is very good in it's own right.

A nice follow up to Pure Comedy. If I would use stand up comedy terms to describe the two albums, I would say that Pure Comedy felt like the punchline, while God's Favorite Customer was a tag. Oftentimes, a tag will get a good reaction from the audience, which is what I felt the case was here. At times, both albums share similar tones and themes. However, God's Favorite Customer is shorter and more varied. This album was definitely less ambitious and less conceptual than its predecessor, which is not necessarily a negative thing. There are a few weaker links here and there, and since the album is not as conceptual these points can stand out a bit more. But even the weakest points aren't actually bad. What really makes this record are Father John Misty's lyrics and songwriting. I think that "Disappointing Diamonds Are The Rarest Of Them All" is a very well constructed song, and the vocal melody on "Please Don’t Die" is beautifully put together. He also has a knack for writing guitar riffs that feel so grand and memorable, such as on "We’re Only People (And There’s Not Much Anyone Can Do About That)." In addition, the instrumentation on "Just Dumb Enough To Try" is simply gorgeous. You might not get the bold artistic statement that you would find with his previous work, but its not necessary for every album to have that attribute. If you're craving a collection of quality songs with outstanding writing, this is the place to be.
Great variety while still maintaining an obvious connecting thread between all the songs on here. Not the most revolutionary thing FJM has ever produced, but I'm a big fan of it regardless. One of the best releases of the year, no doubt.
