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 74.9/100, a mean average of 74.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.7.

From baystateoftheart 05/21/2020 02:45 in You must listen to the album below you: canon edition
“1. Great album! Lots of outstanding songwriting, and it's nice that this provides an electronic change of pace from Kozelek's typical sonic palette. The lyrics are often deeply melancholy, and yet they also feel so warm and full of love for humanity. Definitely a positive shift from say, Lord Kill…”

Addictive and captivating. Combining The Album Leaf and Sun Kil Moon never would have occurred to me. (Edited)

This is a truly inspired piece of work. I hesitate to use the term "folktronica," but using artificial instrumentation as a backdrop for Mark Kozelek's storytelling ends up working surprisingly well. Seriously one of the most interesting projects of the last few years. (Edited)

After listening to multiple other Kozelek releases, this one has stuck with me like no other.

Thank you for this album, the both of you. (Edited)

"It's in English and it sounds pleasant and it isn't ridiculously long and people have actually heard of the artists involved before."
