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 72.9/100, a mean average of 73.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 7.2.

Ward blends folk with rock and dashes in a little bit of indie experimentation and all together, it makes for a great album. Lyrically, Ward has always been strong and continues to be on this album. This is definitely an album worth listening to.

Here's another inoffensive, safe batch of AM-radio adult contemporary tunes ready-made for a lazy day hangin' out with family on the countryside front porch drinking lemonade. He can still spin a good upbeat, toe-tappin' tune like "primitive girl" and "me and my shadow", and that's when he's at his best. (There's even a little zooey here.) But as much as i criticize m.ward for being a safe listening choice, this album's still fun to queue up. (Now bring on another Monsters of Folk album!!)
