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 14% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.5/100, a mean average of 74.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 10.1.

This is my favorite Low album. Steve Albini kills it. So mood.
I suppose this is a bit of a transitional album. Its the first point where they consistently vary the arrangements of their songs- adding strings, static sound effects, different guitar effects and percussion sounds.
Thematically they are becoming a bit less angsty, and throwing some vaguely religious references or moods into the lyrics (weight of Water, Missouri, Two Step). The songwriting seems more hopeful, less minor key + slight dissonance and droning style songs, more major key ballads with pretty melodies that could be lullabies.
I'd say its my favourite Low album alongside the debut, at least at the moment.
