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 has a Bayesian average rating of 71.8/100, a mean average of 71.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.1.

I greatly prefer the parts of the album that sound closer to rock n' roll than country. But I think fans of Jenny Lewis should be satisfied with the content.

Cohesive album despite the multiple producer influences. This is her most poppy album yet with hooks peppered throughout, although she doesn't knock any song into "classic" territory.

I've been a fan of Jenny Lewis since her days with Rilo Kiley. I appreciate the ways in which her songwriting has matured over the years, and the way the production of her albums has given her lyrics the added attention they deserve. On The Voyager, the moment where I hear this most clearly is in the heartbreaking "Just One of the Guys," her hard-hitting takedown of sexist pressures we--both society and ourselves--place on single women: "There's only one difference between you & me / When I look at myself all I can see / I'm just another Lady without a baby."
