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 has a Bayesian average rating of 71.2/100, a mean average of 69.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.3.

“Swans aren't on the same level as Arcade Fire. Not gonna make that an argument of quality, but worth noting that Swans' debut came out in 83 to Arcade Fire didn't even form until 2001. Not really old enough to comment on this, but based on your charts, here's some newer stuff you might like: based…”

Not as strong as Manchester Orchestra's past offerings however still a good listen. Not nearly as emotionally raw as Like a Virgin Losing a Child or as diverse as Mean Everything to Nothing.
Highlights - Top Notch, The Ocean, After the Scripture (Deluxe Edition)

It's certainly not the strongest ManO album (I rank it 4 out of 5, just above I'm Like A Virgin Losing A Child), it's an interesting exploration into the band's heavier side. Top Notch is great.
