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 4% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.6/100, a mean average of 76.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.5.

Given the time, and the fact that she kept busy with various appearances on other people's albums, I was beginning to wonder if she'd ever put out another of her own. What she's finally given us is an incredibly sparse and quiet record. Long-time partner David Rawlings really shines on this one, with every song containing a meandering guitar flourish. And Gillian is, as ever, a master lyricist.
This is probably Gillian's least good album, and a slightly disappointment after such a long wait between releases, but it's still a fantastic collection of songs, and would be a high point for almost any other songwriter.

This is supposed to be her best album since "time (the revelator)" -- too bad i don't have that other one, because this album is pretty nice in telling its its rootsy-alt-country, americana story. Between this and her accompanying vocals on this year's decemberists album, she's had quite the year.
