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 16% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.9/100, a mean average of 74.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.4.

It's little wonder that this album garnered so much attention - it's fecking great. For all its surf-rock tropes and bluesy-folksy borrowings, it's quite a one-off. I could quite happily live in this album.
Best track: Bring Me Simple Men. Music to listen to when you're getting your revenge on a cowboy.
I love this album. It's got a really creepy, seedy atmosphere with some beautiful instrumentation. Hot Dreams is also one of my favorite songs this year.

Brilliant production. Ticks all the right boxes sound wise for me. Everything just sounds great. Some good writing, atmosphere and vocals. What's not to like?
Best instrumentation I've heard from an album this year. Great album all the way through.
Haunting and cinematic. Plays like a surreal, vividly painted waking nightmare.
