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 4% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.5/100, a mean average of 76.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 10.0.

This & Twins are my favourite works of Ty's solo career. It's where he's on top. Even though I love 2011's Goodbye Bread (which is comparable to this LP for its more refined folk style) there's something a little more fleshed out about the songwriting and its musical delivery on this one.

Is it just me or can some one else feel a kind of GBV influence on here (like pre-Bee Thousand)?

It's great to hear Ty Segall without all the fuzz and distortion; only a small amount of pedal-play made it to this record. This is pure psychedelic folk with which Segall managed make another great record. Segall is definitely the most prominent and consistent garage- and psychedelic rock musician working in this decade.
