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 9% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.8/100, a mean average of 74.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.2.

“(1) A very enjoyable indie rock/pop record, with decent songwriting and fantastic sounding guitars, drums, violins, cello... well pretty much everything. I've been enjoying a lot of jangle pop, post-punk and indie lately, so this was a nice fit. The production is not too out-there or complex, but…”

Great album. The minimalist production really matches the straightforward, often stark lyrics. Really quite emotionally affecting at times ('Honey' and 'November Baby' especially touched me, but I found the whole album very sincere and mostly pretty sad). It was something I wasn't really expecting to enjoy, so it's safe to call it a very pleasant surprise.

I saw Torres play live in Atlanta in support of this album; I think it must have been at the Variety Playhouse, opening for Okkervil River. It was a bit of a subdued performance, and I'm not so sure most of those attending were paying much attention. Which is a shame, because this self-titled debut is a really strong piece of work--albeit one that shows its warts, with moments that feel off-key and off-kilter. At its best, this album uses those moments to reinforce the songs' subject matter, as in "Honey": "Honey, while you were ashing in your coffee / I was thinking ‘bout telling you / What you’ve done to me / Honey, pretending like it never happened / Come over here and let me / Put you back together." Something about that feeling of mutual brokenness really can make for good art.
