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 has a Bayesian average rating of 68.2/100, a mean average of 66.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 67.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.9.

Although tempted to describe this album as near-perfection, I think that this descriptor would be the antithesis to the feel of this album. The sound indescribably organic. It feels as if my inner most self is finally getting the chance to speak with me directly, and my appreciation for that opportunity has no end. <3

HAHAHAHAHA did they just make up their own type of folk music? Did they perhaps also make up a country where it's from? These guys just can't keep it real; they're in an imaginary world, and everyone who listens to this and say they like it is equally delusional. No one likes this, there are only people afraid to dislike it because they're afraid of coming off as close-minded.

One thing about folk music: it's not made to blow your mind, or even be fun for everyone; it's meant to follow tradition, and that's all (which makes it fun, but almost only for the people of that tradition). Folk music without tradition is like a made-up language: pointless. Culture determines language; without it, it is either just an existing language with different words, or it's random noises. They've gone for random noises.

"Moo Rah Rah Rain" is quite enjoyable though... the rain, not the moo rah rah.

Not a bad album. It sort of meanders along endlessly without really making much of an impression, but it's nice. Pleasant listen, overall.
