Rating metrics: Help 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 67.5/100, a mean average of 66.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 66.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.4.

It sort of washed over me. I liked parts of it but it's not one of the most memorable records.

Brooding, spacious industrial rock and post punk with a gospel twist, served with a heaping helping of charged politics? Yeah, that's what Algiers does, and There Is No Year doesn't disappoint.

Frustrating listen at first, none of the songs really 'clicked' with me until #5, where it felt the album hit its stride. The powerful moments on this album are great as expected, but as a whole the record feels like a bunch of disjointed ideas, some of which really don't work. Interestingly, the some of the singles are my least favorite songs.

Favorite Tracks: Unoccupied, Repeating Night, Nothing Bloomed
