Rating metrics: Help 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 72.1/100, a mean average of 71.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.4.

“And already 2015: An album I already know/own: A good Wilco album, full stop. It goes from the 23rd to the 25th rank. An album on my wishlist: The first few tracks sounded fairly bland but after a while the music was getting better and especially more varied. The best example is the long closing…”

Love the fuzz. I think this is on the way to being my favorite post-YHF Wilco album. And the added surprise makes it even better.

Because this album is called Star Wars, has an album cover of a cat, and is made by Wilco, I find it very hard to dislike. However, I feel as if it's lacking substance. These are only my thoughts after a first listen though, and none of the songs here are bad.

Nothing groundbreaking, but still a rather pleasant joy to listen through. Random Name Generator and Magnetized are currently my favorites.

I'm warming up to this actually. I literally said a few days ago, "What the hell is Wilco doing nowadays?" They got back to me rather quickly, I'd say, and their answer was free. But is the album any good? I think so. I'll give it a few more listens though. For now, I'll just say that it is another good Wilco album. Not a bad song in the bunch, but I like the more electric moments of the album like Random Name Generator, Cold Slope, King of You, as well as the pleasant end of Where Do I Begin.
