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 71.3/100, a mean average of 70.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.0.

“I didn't have any idea as to what this was going in, and I was pleasantly surprised. About a half an hour of jammy and psychedlic instrumentals. Not much stuck out to me on a first listen, but it did keep me engaged for the runtime. Mercury, try this one.”

“Not one I know but I love Ryley walker. This any good purplepash? Yes it is great! Well worth hearing. Now one of my favourites for 2021. Especially considering this is apparently live after only one rehearsal. They way they work together sounds like they know each other so well. I haven't heard…”

“1. Edit: I also just discovered this was recorded live. Kinda makes all the music and jamming more impressive. (Cool blend of psych rock, psych folk, Raga Rock, and even some more soaring and heavy rock and krautrock at the end. It is cool. Recommended if you like Psychedelic Rock/Folk. Makes me…”

(Cool blend of psych rock, psych folk, Raga Rock, and even some more soaring and heavy rock and krautrock at the end. It is cool. Recommended if you like Psychedelic Rock/Folk. Makes me all the more excited for the upcoming Ryley Walker album - although i'm sure it will be completely different in almost every way.)

This surprised me. It surprised me in its restraint and the commitment to slowly and methodically build its songs. Both of the 17-18 minute instrumental psychedelic folk/rock songs here have destinations and have pay offs, even if you may not hear all the ways they make their way to their destinations on first listen. Along the way the songs artfully move between heavy, groovy slabs of krautrock coolness, spiritual and airy raga sounding jams, slow ruminative jams, and finally at the end of track 2 "Shrinks the Day" they morph into their final form of mind-bending psychedelic rock monster.

Not going to lie, on first listen I thought track 1 was a bit...uneventful and cool but not particularly something I thought I'd want to return to. I didn't foresee how the album would unfold and ratchet up the intensity so much on track 2. Taken as a whole this a really cool little music adventure. Quite refreshing.

I thought this would have more structure going in, I expected some psych folk songs with y'know vocals and stuff. This album managed to completely avoid essentially every single thing I kind of expected to hear. Badass.

Jaw-dropping psychedelic jamming. The fact that this is live is just the icing on the cake. Absolutely transcendent. (Edited)
