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 72.5/100, a mean average of 71.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.4.

I think this is the best album of 2013 so far. "Just make it stop" sounds like a classic.
I don't think it matches their best albums, but the laid back acoustic arrangements certainly suits their sound. Holy Ghost, Waiting and Clarence White are a great run of simple ballads.
I'm really curious about why the "Happy birthday Happy birthday Happy birthday Happy birthday" bit in On My Own exists.
After 2011's "C'mon" with a more optimistic outlook they continue down a "lighter" feel than many would come to expect from this band. More of Mimi Parker's gorgeous harmonies feature on this album than any other of their previous nine. An underrated and perhaps overlooked record.
While I don't love it, it certainly is quite good. It could use a bit more variation and a couple of tracks feel too aimless, but the songs that standout more than make up for it.
Still need a few more listens to decide whether this is a great album but it's a definate contender. Best album of 2013 so far.
