Rating metrics: Help 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 73.3/100, a mean average of 73.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.2.

Not a country fan, so this didn't grab me right away, but after four or five listens, I think it's one of the best albums of the year. Production is rich, amplifying the intensity of some very personal lyrics.

Sways between homages to various artists. The Pretenders, St Vincent, Dolly Parton. Not unlistenable but certainly hard to pin down

How funny. I started listening to Amanda Shires on the very day she released this brand new record, which is leaps and bounds above her other records.

Dave Cobb's production has really helped here. It embraces her desire to make music that is extraordinary and unique, while wrapping it in a memorable melody. The result is a catchy and sometimes haunting set of songs that really highlight her interesting lyrics.

Sounds like Dolly Parton belting out Neko Case songs at midnight in a foggy Tennessee bog. Recommended.

Track Pick: Break Out the Champagne
