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 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 80.3/100, a mean average of 79.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 80.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.3.

Controversial at first due to its lack of sampling and Steve Albini's production style, but Yanqui is an unmitigated masterpiece nonetheless. Few pieces of music in the history of modern music have matched the emotional thrill and epic scale of the closing Redeemer suite, truly one of the greatest passages ever put to CD or wax.
Just re-listening to this album. First time in about 12 years...fuck it's good!! Rockets Fall! I left the planet for some time, forgive me for letting this collect dust!!!!

a lot better than Lift Your Fists I think
Motherfucker=Redeemer! One of the best dynamic build ups and subsequent rock outs of all rock music. I got to see them play this at a show in a church in amsterdam a few years back and it was one of my favorite concert experiences ever.

People won't belive me if I say that this is superior to F sharp A sharp infinity or Lift yr Skinny Fists.
But as every is entitled to like whatever he wants, I like this more than these albums, but I don't trust anyone who rates this less than 3 stars
The most underrated Godspeed album, it's refreshing not to hear any vocal samples, you just get the straight up hugeness of post-rock. This band never failed so far, one of the most impressive discographies in history!
