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 73.0/100, a mean average of 72.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 10.9.

Se contendo o álbum cresce... Bem poderoso!
Chan Marshall gets back to what she does best. A very consistent album but for me this one just falls short of the tag ‘a return to form’.

I was late to the Cat Power appreciation party , 2012 'Sun' late which turned out to be a completely underwhelming experience and leaving me to ponder what all the fuss was about
Fast forward 6 years and 2018's 'Wanderer' has opened my eyes to the charms of Charlyn Marie "Chan" Marshall ..this is one special album
There's something old about these tracks , they feel like they have come from a bygone era but they haven't . Even the Rihanna cover "Stay" feels musty and covered in cobwebs
Sometimes the best albums have that intangible x factor where you know its great but you struggle to conceptualise why - it just is . 'Wanderer ' is one such album
One 2018's best releases
