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 71.9/100, a mean average of 70.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.0.

A bit of an obvious one, but if you haven't listened, get on that Iron & Wine. Specifically this album: Came here to give some of the canon stuff and this is absolutely one of the first that comes to mind. It's a little hard to tell what you have/haven't heard since you've got no charts or ratings,…

Very underrated. It sounds good enough to have more attention and it definitely deserves a higher spot on the overall rank. Not the best thing out there but still to good to be so low.

I, like HoldenM below, thought it sounded quite Microphones-inspired. Turns out, acfording to wikipedia:

" Silberman has stated that when beginning the band as a solo project, his approach to home recording and production was largely inspired by the techniques of lo-fi musician Phil Elverum (The Microphones and Mount Eerie); in particular, that of the critically acclaimed 2001 release, The Glow Pt. 2. "

So that's pretty cool. Bonus points for his excellent taste in music.

This album itself is pretty good. I like the production on it a lot, but some of the tracks are kinda meh songs, kinda bland at times. Some are great tho. We do get a taste of his more orchestral and grandiose work to come in the title track. And I actually really liked the drone-y "last folk song" on here. It reminded me a ton of "(Something)-1" aka "Deep" from the glow part 2.

Even in this, their first record, Pete Silberman's croon shows the mastery and brilliance that will make their later works into masterpieces.

A lot of this reminds me of The Microphones and Elliott Smith, but with Peter Silberman's voice. Still very good.
