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 73.5/100, a mean average of 73.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 10.0.

'Stumpwork', although not being quite as immediate as their debut effort, punches among a fine pantheon of records from UK post-rock bands this year such as Wet Leg, Yard Act and Porridge Radio.

Stumpwork sees Dry Cleaning cleaning up their act – all the grit from their post-punk debut is pretty much gone. As much as I too wanna go see the otters and the water caterpillars, this subdued, instrumentally eclectic follow-up doesn't hold my attention. It lacks the visceral insistence on its being heard that New Long Leg had. Florence's grift of Sue Tompkins sounds even more obvious too. That having been said, there are plenty of redeeming qualities about Stumpwork: some of the songs are genuinely fun, albeit more in a conceptual than affective way. The single "Don't Press Me", while lacking development – the song structurally could built a bit better, and the mid-section guitar solo is just pathetic, truly – still sounds immediate and musically alive. Meanwhile, "Kwenchy Kups" is a lovely listen, but not a 2nd in the tracklisting fun, and begs the question of whether Shaw's deliberately flat timbre works (part of me imagines what Tompkins would do with the song), and "Icebergs" is actively weird in a good way; the only time that the disgusting chorus drenched guitars found across the album justify themselves sounding so meek.
