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 65.3/100, a mean average of 64.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 64.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.8.

Not a studio album, really, just a bad B-side album. However there are some gems - Revolving Doors and Bobby In Phoenix are brilliant. Half of Hillbilly Man is great too (there is a great song in there somewhere). The rest is just garbage to be honest. Those 2 and a half songs drag this rating up from a certain 5/100.

I really don't think there's one track that even tries to emulate Americana, where do people get that idea?

Also, was 'Seattle Yodel' ever meant to be a real yodel? I thought it was meant as a joke... Okay, I looked it up, it's actually a toy that makes sound, look up "the yodelling pickle". People really should stop taking music too seriously. That's also something I realized with this album: something he made in a month almost jokingly can actually sound as solid as this, have such a consistent sound and theme too. It really undermines all his previous megalomanic efforts. Okay, it doesn't contain any hits, but other than that this is really an album; it's better than what some people put out after months of work (including himself lately). It makes me think, are those enormous projects really necessary? How many artists could make such a cute, little gem if they just put their pride and perfectionism aside?

For some reason this album made on a fucking iPad while touring just sticks with me. It really catches this sinister, industrial feeling that I get with traveling for some reason. Not that I have fear for traveling, but it's just this sinister yet romantic feeling I get from trains and planes and highways, I can't explain it. It's this "fear of the future/modernity" sentiment the best trip hop taps into I guess.

I appreciate this album for what it is, understanding that it was made in a month, on a iPad, traveling across the states. Not the best Gorillaz record but something I find myself coming to often when I just want to hear some quirky tracks.

The first two songs are GREAT. I had really high hopes coming into this. As the album progresses, however, you can certainly tell this was made on an iPad.

Not bad for an album made on tour, but this is the level of a B-side album.
