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 is rated in the top 4% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.5/100, a mean average of 77.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.4.

Phenomenal stuff = Tied for my Album of 2004 with Abattoir Blues/The Lyre Of Orpheus
Mark Lanegan at his best if you ask me...
I hadn't heard this for about 4 years. There's some good stuff on here, but nothing that makes it stand out for me. Even the duet with PJ Harvey (who I really like) left me a bit flat.
His presence is so commanding to the point of making you uncomfortable. Too heavy and too intense for the chicken-livered (like me).
Can't believe this is ranked so low. What a travesty! This is the blues and rock fused in the deep dark furnace of Lanegan's soul. Quality!
