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 6% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.7/100, a mean average of 75.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.1.

Mature and evocative songwriting with sophisticated arrangements - a true modern classic.
Great music but bad voice.

La musica di Destroyer, all'inizio di questo "Poison street" ( ed anche in parecchi momenti nel proseguo del disco ) pare un incrocio tra un Rufus Wainwright più tormentato, Devendra Banhart e ( un poco ) un Vic Chesnutt più pacificato ( ci vuole poco… ), con lontane parentele nel Van Dyke Parks di "Song cycle". Il disco poi prende anche altre strade, ma sempre restando dalle parti di un pop tendente al triste ma mai serioso, orchestrale e melodico pure quando i ritmi paiono diventare convulsi ( cosa che accade raramente comunque… ).
Best Tracks: Times Square, Sun In The Sky

Despite what I first thought, this doesn't live in the shadows of Kaputt. I think the moral of the story is: never try to peg Dan Bejar.
Still is one of favourite records of the year.
