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 8% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.3/100, a mean average of 74.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.3.

Love the two voices. They sound great together and individually. One of their best albums.

Their breakthrough record, and also their best. It launched them into the scene and paved the way to working with producer Rick Rubin and performing at the GRAMMY's with Bob Dylan.

Tracks 1-6 are solid heartfelt songwriting.

Definitive Track: Die, Die, Die

If you aren't already into the Avett Brothers, Emotionalism is the perfect place to start. This record lacks any bad tracks and has so many high points…Die Die Die, Salina, Pretty Girl From Chile, and Living of Love are the best songs.

Mignonette, however, is better…just barely.

This is the album Wilco should've made as the "A Ghost Is Born" 180 degree return to the "Being There" phase. They do everything Wilco did with "Sky Blue Sky", but demonstrate more of a fresher, rootsier perspective. There are elements of funk, rock, bluegrass and punk on this album.
