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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.9/100, a mean average of 77.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 10.7.

He never misses, another album of the year contender.
Another banger from the master!
I'm not a Nick Cave expert but I have really enjoyed this record. Since buying this I've found myself exploring the rest of his catalogue.
Wild God is excellent.
Not his best record for sure but a decent one and a decent Nick Cave album is better than most.
Another incredible record. It's amazing how Nick has been able to maintain this level of consistency so far into his career.
The songs are heavier and probably more reminiscent of the earlier Bad Seeds material than the last two albums have been but the quality hasn't dipped at all

Yep, he’s done it again - another masterful release. This time full of life-affirming positive mantras and a transcendent connection to a higher meaning.
