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 5% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.1/100, a mean average of 76.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 8.7.

Un disco che sa di anni novanta e che quindi può apparire un po' fuori tempo ma che è degno del capolavoro del gruppo di undici anni prima. Gruppo per modo di dire visto che gli Sparklehorse erano sostanzialmente Mark Linkous. La sua musica non era solo triste e tormentata: si apriva spesso a squarci ritmici che le facevano emanare addirittura allegria. Non nell'ultima canzone di questo disco, la più lunga, la più cupa: impossibile non pensare alla sorte del suo autore ascoltandola, impossibile rimanerne indifferenti.

"Don't Take My Sunshine Away" is a serious contender for the best Mark Linkous composition. There's some other great songs here, like "Some Sweet Day" and "Knives of Summertime," but the rest is not up to Linkous' usual standard. Bit of a different feel from past records, too. Get this one last.
