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 71.7/100, a mean average of 71.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.1.

Great music, great album!
"Gold & Gray" follows the successful "Purple" (2015). An album that was a metal rebirth after the painful experience of the crash of their bus during a tour. The Baroness of Savannah has also lost Pete Adams, their creative guitarist who has been replaced by the talented Gina Gleason. Leader John Dyer Baizley claims to have created Baroness' best album to date, the deepest, most adventurous and most successful. Not sure I agree after listening to it... Adventurous? Yes, it's true that the band explored new musical territories. But I do not really find the deep and successful side. The riffs abound, the rhythm is groovy and rich, the voice is solid, but nothing very innovative. The traces of rock or metal fade into reflexive and acoustic sequences. I can not find the intensity of Baroness anymore. With time, Baroness becomes less metal and more pop rock. What does not bother me but what gives here an album that I find whimsical, unbalanced, not very pleasant to listen and much grayer than gold.
5/10
They’re best yet (and that says a lot with the Red and Blue albums in their discography). A masterpiece.
Many people have commented on the "terrible mix" of this ablum. I don't believe this was a mistake or oversight by the band/producer. This was a very intentional mix, and it gives the music an air of mystery and adds to the overall "wall of sound" technique they are employing here. After repeat listens, the mix adds to the overall allure of the ablum. This is one of their strongest albums to date and so far, the best metal album of 2019 (and one of the best of the year period).
