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 has a Bayesian average rating of 72.8/100, a mean average of 72.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.9.

I’m struggling to understand why this album was so poorly received, sure it’s no “I’m Wide Awake” and there a couple of duds in the track list but it’s still a very strong work. Songs like Dance and Sing, Mariana Trench, Pan and Broom, Persona Non Grata, Tilt-a-Whirl, and To Death's Heart rank as some of my favorite songs Bright Eyes has ever released. I think this album should rank similarly to LIFTED.
Nice weirdness to this. Elements of Dylan. Can't say I loved it but it held my attention.

An album featuring Conor Oberst that is good and Phoebe Bridges doesn’t appear is something of a rarity these days but here it is
