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 71.7/100, a mean average of 69.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.7.

Kiss Each Other Clean is everything I love about Beam--catchy melodies and powerful imagery--run through the studio ringer until the substance is obscured by the polish. I would love to hear the demo versions of these songs, because I imagine they're fantastic. As it is, I really struggle with all the additional instrumentation (saxophones?!) and vocal dubs.

It's still my least favorite Iron And Wine album, but it's grown a ton on me. One of my absolute favorite current artists.

Here's another former "lo-fi" artist who has since embellished his work masterfully in the studio. i like the horns, especially the spazzy-jazzy horns at the end of "2011 best track" long-play nominee "your fake name is good enough for me", or the playful horns in "big burned hand".

Great voice and better playing. It is simple but enjoyable. Mostly on acoustic guitar although not entirely. Walking Far From Home is a good song and Me and Lazerus too. Check them out.
