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 5% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.9/100, a mean average of 75.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.2.

Shortlisted for album of the year at the 2020 Grammys. The winner was When We All fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? by Billie Eilish (Edited)
When the previous album "22, A Million" came out, I felt that it was just "too much", even if I liked the new experimental ideas it brought on the table. "i,i" is the perfect blend between those ideas and the more classic Bon Iver sound, so it's exactly what I needed from Bon Iver. My 2019 AoTY. (Edited)

While not quite as experimental as its predecessor 22, A Million, this album is a challenging listen at times, in that it consists of a number of tracks that never quite coalesce into full-blown songs. Rather, this album has a distinctly fragmentary feel to it. At times the experience of listening to it can be a little unsatisfying. Then again, the fragments often have a hypnotic, even transcendent effect that might even be heightened by the way the songs refuse to come together completely. Bon Iver recognizes the value of a great one-liner, and he makes the most of his talent for those on tracks such as "RABi," which has this gorgeous refrain: "So what of this release? / Sunlight feels good now, don't it? / I don't have a leaving plan / But something's gotta ease your mind / But it's all fine or it's all crime anyway." Great stuff from one of the most inventive artists of the decade. (Edited)
the first 3 albums and e.p. were great, but now it seems like he's pandering. These songs are more pop-infused, sing-along, and more collaborative. Not my cup of tea
iMi, Hey Ma, and Faith are all peak Bon Iver. Right up there with his best.
U, Naeem, Salem, and RABi are all quite good as well.
The rest are pretty skippable IMO, which is a shame. They're the only tracks in his discography that I don't really care for.
