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 73.0/100, a mean average of 71.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.4.

If I was able to create my own years list, I think I would put this one as number one. Even though I love Sufjan Steven and his album is great, for me this here is even better
A lot of great songs on this record. On the other hand, too bad he threw away his former musical style. Still love the album

I've liked TTMOE since whenever I realized that Mercury wouldn't shut up about them. But, I think this is my favorite one so far. It strikes that perfect balance of enjoyable when your aren't to focused on it and yet the more you pay attention the more interesting you realize it is. Really really good and better every time.

Nothing original, and it is a bit samey over the length of an album, but it's very well done for its genre indeed. I feel he'll make further progress when that Sufjan influence has waned a bit, but for now, a really good album; which is enough any day for me. Oh, plus the lady loves it to bits, so it's defo going to be a grower and a keeper.
I liked that he is evolving with some different instrumentation(s). Really enjoyed this new approach, but love his old style too. Fantastic artist imo! MEZ

I love what Matsson is doing. I love seeing an artist evolve and that’s exactly what Matsson is doing, he’s moving forward with his music. This is drastically different from anything he’s released before. He’s progressively added more and more to his music as time has gone on, an electric guitar here, some keys there, but nothing like this. This is a full band, drums, orchestration, everything. Songs like “Sagres” and “Darkness Of Our Dream” sound like they could be Springsteen songs. The closest you’re gonna get to original TMOE is the final song, the title track, but even that has elements that Matsson hasn’t used before. His lyrics and vocals are still like they’ve always been, and the songs are structured just like we’re used to from him, but the instrumentation is so different, and it’s a real breath of fresh air. Lyrically, Matsson bears all, as he’s often done, and a prime example is in “Sagres”, where he deals with the creeping doubt that comes into his life. The man is an excellent lyricist, and that hasn’t changed. “This is not the end, this is fine” Matsson sings in the title track, and anyone who’s upset about this change needs to remember that: this isn’t the end of The Tallest Man On Earth, this is the beginning of Matsson’s new chapter as an artist. Seeing movement in a musician’s career like this is an awesome thing, and I commend him greatly for it. This album is different from what you’re used to, but it’s still a rewarding listen.

This is pretty freaking awesome.
