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 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 80.3/100, a mean average of 80.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 80.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.8.

This is a nice early morning EP. It's only 24 minutes, so it's compact, but it manages to do some cool things anyways. I'm impressed by what makes up the drums on the first track: a slide projector, and joining that in the second half of the song, a Beatles drum sample. The second track, which is named after someone who I think was a religious nutcase doesn't have much of a drum beat at all. But it's still not bad. The 3rd track, the title track, is really awesome. It has childrens' voices, and it has birds too! That's something about this duo I've always liked; the fact that they put nature into their music. That makes it quite the experience when listening to it on a nature walk. I haven't done that yet but I want to. The closing track, has no drums either. Instead we have a spiraling-pulsating synth line that reminds me of Kraftwerk. It's a dreamy way to end the EP. My favorites are the 1st and 3rd track.
My first exposure to BoC, still incredible and refreshing until this day. It might be their cleanest and most pure release.
In my opinion, one of their best releases, Amo Bishop Roden si my favorite BoC song.
An excellent, dreamy EP
