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 69.4/100, a mean average of 68.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 69.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 19.9.

What a great, great record. The man never misses but when he gets it right, he gets it oh so right. I love the jazz-influenced sound of this record and as usual the autobiographical nature of his work. I also feel critics have not been giving Mark his due since Benji. But that's their loss because his work is always sincere, honest and beautiful to listen to (Edited)
Got to around halfway then had to stop. I know lots of people like the way Mark has gone over the years, but I preferred the more structured moments from his earlier career - not for me
Mark Kozelek. My favorite artist of the last years. People constantly criticize Mark Kozelek but the guy has released more good music than 99% of people who have been doing it since the beginning of the decade. The title of the album is inspired by hip-hop crew $uicidboy$. It's true that is not the best Mark Kozelek album but "I Also Want To Die In New Orleans" is a rather successful album. With jazzy instrumentals of the New Orleans really good, Mark Kozelek tells us his personal and social stories. I took some time to enjoy this album but now I appreciate it.
7/10
Best track: "L-48" (Edited)

Bay of Kotor is a masterpiece, and the album's very good.

Yeah, there is a massive improvement in the instrumentals and story telling that makes I Also Want To Die In New Orleans better than Mark's 2018 releases. I was kind of concerned seeing the length of the album that it would be a repeat of This Is My Dinner, but I'm glad it's just an all around better album.
