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 73.0/100, a mean average of 71.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.5.

Recorded after their 2003 masterpiece Ghosts of the Great Highway, Tiny Cities is a cover album that sees Kozelek reconstruct and breathe new life into songs by the legendary Modest Mouse. It also captures some of Kozelek's most beautiful singing and playing, with each song feeling as inspired as the originals.
This one keeps growing on me. What a bizarre album it is, but very well played and sung. I think people haven't spun this fucker enough to realize how good it is.

I think this album is underrated, I like it more than newest Kozelek's work in the 2010's
A weird idea: an album of Modest Mouse covers in the way of Sun Kil Moon.
Sometimes it's hard to recognize it.
Not a big fan, but it's not bad by all means.
