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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 80.2/100, a mean average of 78.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 80.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.1.

Fav. Tracks: Let England Shake, The Glorious Land, The Words That Maketh Murder.
Only recently heard this as a follow up to Stories - which I liked but was not blown away with to be honest. This album I find far superior and makes me more likely to listen to more of her stuff. Lots of great stuff on here.

This album trumps the superb 'Stories From The City . . .' which is no mean feat
Polly Jean began this project by writing the words and lyrics first then slowly built the music and melody around the narrative and boy does it show with each song a literary masterpiece focusing on War , a love letter to England ala 'Village Green' on the one hand and detracting on the other
Its 8 years post release and 'Let England Shake' has lost none of its venom and majesty from the day it was released
I've been a fan of PJH since 92's 'Dry' and read my lips - this is unquestionably her best work bar none
Favorite Tracks:On Battleship Hill, Bitter Branches
Polly trades in her trusty Telecaster for an auto-harp and sings a haunting set of songs about war seen from a feminine perspective.
Unique and quite brilliant in my opinion.
Powerful, stirring album by an artist I did not immediately take to. Give this music a chance, and it will definitely win you over. PJ Harvey is at her best here. It is really a beautiful experience.

I gave it high rating based on originality, musicianship and cause it's PJ Harvey who I madly respect, not because I actually love it. But I'm 100% certain that at one moment in my life it will just click with me, as so many albums that I had similar experiences with did.

Probably the best album based on England you'll hear in a long-time and a massive achievement for Harvey this far into her career.
How does she do it? Like her contemporary Bjork, PJ Harvey continues to astound and amaze. Let England shake, is a brilliant tribute album to her home country. It's full of fantastic songs, but you wouldn't expect anything less from PJ. Long may she continue to thrill us.
