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 5% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.1/100, a mean average of 75.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.0.

This album has successfully managed to open my eyes (or ears rather..) to metal vocals. I've never liked metal vocals, EVER. This one did it for me.
After the first couple listens I kept telling myself that an instrumental version of the album would be perfect, however every listen since then has gotten better and better to the point where I would much rather the vocals be included.
Although I can't make out a single word, the gatefold sleeve of the record has the lyrics written out nice and big for reading along if you really feel the need to. This is the perfect mix of shoegaze and post-rock. I'd say black-metal too however I cannot attest to this as I've honestly never listened to the genre.. (Don't hate me :D)
All in all, I applaud Deafheaven for opening me up to a style of vocals that I've been trying for years and years to get into. Please come at me with recommendations of what to try out next.

A Deafheaven release is a big deal in my world and 'Ordinary Corrupt Human Love' doesn't disappoint on any level
Opener "You Without End" was jarring on first listen but I get it now , followed by the 11 minute "Honeycomb" which is a searing beast that rises and falls and is everything why we love Deafheaven , in fact every track here is great
Is it 'Sunbather' ? Nope
Is it better than 'New Bermuda' ? Yep
Is is the best album in 2018 ? You Betcha !
Dream Metal
80/100

Maybe not quite on Sunbather level, but still an excellent record. Even more mellow post-rock sound and less black metal, which is ok cause it still works very well.
My introduction to some of the songs (Honeycomb, Worthless Animal) came from Audiotree (awesome camerawork and performance!) I feel like this is a more diverse album than sunbather. I get an m83 vibe from You Without End, and I feel like there's even some jazz influences in there, something we didn't have with sunbather.
While I don't think this album is "as good" as Sunbather, I think there's something here towards progressing metal that sunbather didn't have.
Once again, Deafheaven has knocked it out of the park. In fact, upon first listen, I think I loved this album even more than Sunbather and New Bermuda. If these guys truly are "black metal for people who hate black metal", then I guess I really hate black metal. And if they're "black metal for hipsters", then I guess I'm a hipster.
