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 14% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.4/100, a mean average of 73.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.8.

Although Ode to Joy doesn't ascend to the consistent heights of Wilco's earlier career achievements, "Everyone Hides", "Love is Everywhere (Beware)", "Bright Leaves", and "Before Us" serve as a sharp reminder that Wilco is still more than capable of crafting wonderful songs. It just sounds good and feels like the album we all need right now, even if we aren't sure it's what we asked for.

A disappointing album following the fantastic "Schmilco" and the interesting "Star Wars" albums. One of their weaker releases.

Track Pick: Everybody Hides

Cards on the table I’m some thing of a Wilco fan boy so I’m probably writing this with rose coloured glasses on but I have to admit I really enjoyed ‘Ode To Joy’ more than any Wilco album in ... well , years ! . It is a hidden gem in the Wilco cannon

What drew me in most initially were the wonderful atmospheric songs that harken back to ‘Y.H.F’ for example “Bright Leaves “ , “Before Us” and “An Empty Corner “ , but then the slices of pop begin to shine through with “Love Is Everywhere (Beware)” quite simply one of Wilco’s best ever tracks

Recently Jeff Tweedy’s solo albums have outshone the Wilco collaborations but not here. Wilco are back with the most surprisingly good album of 2019
