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 75.0/100, a mean average of 75.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.1.

Too Far to Care if the best hybrid of melodic punk and folk/western that I have ever heard.
The lyrics are very self-loathing (Too Far to Care) and often angry at women who did not return the singer's love (Salome, Nightclub), but it's a nice balance here between the downers and uppers. You will enjoy this one over and over again.
Essential.
A Side: Timebomb
B Side: Big Brown Eyes
Hearing Exene of Four Leaf Clover made me sit up and say, "What?" Then I listened to the rest. it's one of those albums that never seems to leave me. Time Bomb" and "Night Club" are my favorites. "Solome" is a heartbreaker with the incredibel line, "It's over now/ and so are we/ my blood's turned to dirt, girl/you've wrecked every part of me." Ouch!

Too Far to Care combines alt-country and surf rock in a way that feels loose and spontaneous, with Rhett Miller's lyrics sounding plausibly like they could have been written on the back of a cocktail napkin. But this album is far from sloppy or unfocused. The band, pushed along by Ken Bethea’s gonzo guitar licks and Philip Peeple’s insistent drumming, manages a coherent whole here that is by turns comical and genuinely affecting. My favorite track here is the hopelessly combustive "Four Leaf Clover," a reworking of a song from their debut album Hitchhike to Rhome, featuring a fantastic guest appearance by former X frontwoman Exene Cervenka.
