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 is rated in the top 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 79.3/100, a mean average of 79.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 80.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.2.

I'm not a big fan of The Swans but on this side project, Michael Gira is at his best and the "country" tracks here sound even more ominous and dark than on his main bands heaviest darkest song. On most of the tracks he takes his time to arrive at a satisfying and in many case manic ending. The highlights are Angeline and the long and droning final Two Women. So to my surprise I like this album very much

Gira doesn't often take his album in the direction I'm expecting, usually for the worse. The first and final tracks were gorgeous.

Perhaps the most melodic album Gira has released. The arrangements give the album a great dark country/americana sound. The songs are very long and repetitive (as usual), but "New City in the Future" is the only one that drags I think.

Easiest 100/100 in a long time. Heartbreakingly beautiful. Great lyrics and Gira's gorgeous voice.
