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 72.0/100, a mean average of 71.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 7.5.

As a longtime fan of Jay Farrar, this is by far his weakest record to date. A disappointment, along with the 2019 record from Wilco, who share nothing in common except a little history.
Farrar is extra preachy here and his pleas for justice fall as flat as his vocal performance. Farrar channeled his politics well on the Okemah album and his most recent Union album, but the listener cannot connect to this project lyrically or even musically. Not even guest singers can prop up this project. A damn shame.
