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 75.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.9.

Masterfully written and engaging. I'm not even a huge fan of things on the fringe of folk/country, but I love almost every song on this album. This is probably my favorite release from Waxahatchee, and Fire might be my song of the year so far.
Favorite tracks: Fire, Ruby Falls, Arkadelphia, St. Cloud (Edited)
As we get older the fire dies. The admiration for music remains, but the obsession fades. The need to drive home straight away and risk a speeding fine just to listen to a piece of music.
Our taste diversifies as our knowledge grows, but the ache to listen and talk exclusively about one artist for days, weeks is consigned to our past.
Somehow, slowly over the last few years Waxahatchee have given me back what I thought was lost for good. I haven’t been this obsessed by a band since my teenage children were babies. (Edited)

Yet again, Waxahatchee nails it. I'm super impressed with Saint Cloud. This is her most cleanly produced, and most emotionally satisfying album yet. How is it that an artist like her gets better and better with so many releases under their belt? If she keeps this up, the next one's bound to be a masterpiece.

The golden age for great female album’s continues with Katies best album to date both lyrically and maturely from a music perspective (Edited)

I really appreciate what Waxahatchee is doing with the album conceptually. The way she is addressing addiction through her southern roots with the Americana music is right on point, but for some reason the album isn't clicking with me. The music doesn't strike me in any unique way, and the lyrics sometimes become so poetic that its hard to grasp meaning. Hoping this will grow on me more.
