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 72.1/100, a mean average of 71.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.5.

May21. Over two years after this was out, so let's see what I think. In that time I have added the title track, 'The One You Know' and 'Never fade' to my 2018 H100 lists.
I remember thinking that the album lacked variety and I did not like as much as previous albums. But it also took time for me to love 'The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here' too. I also remember wishing they would return to putting a few of their faster, shorter songs on albums: everythign here is four-and-a-half minutes or longer.
'The One You Know' is a solid opener, but the riffs of 'Ranier Fog' really got my attention. There is some great sounds on this one. I like the vocals too. I have grown to like 'Fly' over time, but alongside the other songs here, it blends in.
'Drone' does exactly that and goes for too long and the next couple of tracks seem to merge with it. 'Maybe' sounds a little like 'Fly' and stands out a little with it's slower tempo. 'So Far Under' has a good riff, as does 'Never Fade', but the latter also has a very good chorus. Not sure the long 'All I Am' was needed at the end.
Too much of this album has a similar tone and speed. This really needs some shorter belters like 'Dam That River', 'Them Bones' or even 'Would?' It all just blends together, which some might see as a strength, but this is not the only sound I like from this band. 3/5
Good album, right blend of heavy and melody
Fresh, solid album from Duvall era AIC. A lot deeper and more introspective than their previous effort, for which it trades a lot of its heaviness and grungy grooves. Nothing groundbreaking but a solid effort on par with what you would expect from modern AIC.
Top 10 album of the year! Vintage AIC! A 90’s throwback
