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 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 80.2/100, a mean average of 79.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 80.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.9.

No more shall we part, is one of Nick Cave's best and most beautiful albums. It's a stunning record, the music intimate, but it still manages to sound huge, even cinematic. It features some of Cave's best ever writing. The playing is superb, and there are some lovely backing vocals from the Mcgarrigle sisters. Every song has something to say, musically as well as lyrically, with highlights including, oh my Lord, hallelujah,(not that one)and, love letter. In fact every song is a mini masterpiece, as the album itself also is. Superb.

Listened to this for the first time, it left a huge impression. This album is just so wonderful, like a soundtrack to a dark fairytale. And I'm yet to pay greater attention to the lyrics. Piano and violin are truly extraordinary here. (Edited)
Nick is no pianoplayer he claims. He said he wasn't satisfied with his pianocontribution on this album. I'm loving the incomplete roughness of it. It's brilliant. And such lovely stories in a matching musical context. And Nick sings like never before.

a really beautiful album. This instrumental work is better than a lot of his other stuff. This also has a lot more passion and flow than his more acclaimed "Boatmans Call"

Cave's most beautiful album bar none. Not a single stinker in the bunch. Maybe his best, maybe not; it's my favorite right now. I really couldn't complain about this one at all. Amazing album.
Favorite tracks: All of them. 5 stars for tracks 1-7 and track 12. 4.25-4.75 for the rest.
