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 73.2/100, a mean average of 72.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.1.

More electronica than, queen of Denmark, but the quality of the writing hasn't dipped, and the lyrics are just as darkly humorous as before. Glacier, is probably Grant's most beautiful song to date. Overall, it's not as instant as, QOD, but repeated listens brings out the quality of the songs.

The folk-meets-electronica thing is alternately brilliant and hard to swallow, but "GMF" might be the best song I heard this year.

Plaintive synthpop and classic 70s rock are an unlikely pairing but John Grant manages to merge them brilliantly. Barbed, often funny, but usually very sad lyrics detail the protaganist's self-destructive but addictive obsession with a former lover, making for absorbing if at times uncomfortable listening.

Wonderful album. Pale Green Ghosts is more progressive and aggressive than Queen of Denmark which is also a great album.
