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 72.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.3.

Pedro the Lion came out in the 90s, this a great return, this is what they do and they are good at it.
Kind of what I hear when I listen to The National. Not sure there is room for, or the need for, another guitar band, doing this sort of thing. Certainly not when there are other bands doing it a whole lot better.

One of the most solid comeback albums I've heard. His voice aged well and gives this that extra something special that adds to the greatness of this release. Didn't realize how long they've been gone until I came across this. Definitely still have it.
