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 is rated in the top 16% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.9/100, a mean average of 73.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.4.

Loved it as a concept, but some songs are hit or miss for me...
Strayed a tad too far towards trad for my own personal tastes at times, and I found the discordant outro to be a little grating, but 'False Lankum' really pricked my ears up on a first listen and there's some really beautiful tracks on there, such as 'Newcastle' and 'Lord Abore and Mary Flynn'. Overall, to me it felt like modern Irish folk mixed with Big Thief for some reason.
Has some really nice highs and a more solid theme to the album, but the attempts to move between extremes is a little grating on the ears and I think could've been done smoother. Favourite song is Netta Perseus.

It sounds both old and fresh, Transcending journey
Key song : Go Dig My Grave
