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 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.4/100, a mean average of 76.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.3.

Atmospheric slowcore record and I simply like this genre, also Lullaby is a masterpiece.

Surprisingly this , Low's debut album, is their number 1 ranked release on BEA . I love this band and I love Slow Core and I'm telling you with full confidence Lows best album is 'Things We Lost In The Fire' from 2001, its a much more mature ,assured and technical superior album than this one

That's not to say this is a bad album , but you can just tell its a band trying to find its feet . And quite frankly a couple of tracks here stink in "Lazy" (I never did like that fat , lazy good for nothing Sarah ) and cover closer "Sunshine" which ends things on a bummer

If your a fan by all means check this album out , other wise take my advice and jump straight to 2001's 'Things We Lost In The Fire '
