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 70.8/100, a mean average of 70.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 10.4.

The 60's sound of Girls group, also in the voice. Revisited in 2020. No big Hit, perhaps better to listen carefully the all album.

The album starts on an excellent high note and continues strong until about halfway through when it starts to lose itself. Really excellent lyricism throughout, and the concept of reflecting on past actions/livelihood in response to the world ending is a very intriguing way to tie the album together. Overall, I really enjoyed listening through. The front half just felt much stronger than the back half.

Sort of PJHarvey-esque. Not a bad record, just nothing that moved me.

Definitely prefer this over their last album--which was perfectly fine. Not sure how essential the spoken word interludes are, but I don't hate them.

There are some great highs in this album and very frustrating lows (the 3 spoken word, filler tracks completely take me out of the right mindset). Take those weak points out and you'd have a much more cohesive, solid release.

Favorite tracks: 4 American Dollars, And Yet It Moves, Overtime
