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 has a Bayesian average rating of 73.1/100, a mean average of 71.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.1.

Another great album from Lu. Never done a duff album. Everyone has something of interest. Consistently great artist

Another great album from Lucinda she just gets better with age. Her southern drawl works on these sad melancholy songs. This album needs more than one or two listens before it sinks in and touches you. The standout tracks are Dust, Place In My Heart, Louisiana Story, the title track & If My Love Could Kill but the rest are all good. Released in the same year as Blackstar & Skeleton Tree these 3 albums are the saddest releases in a long time.

2016 is shaping as a sad and great year in music, and this, to me, is one of the year's best.

Something about Lucinda's voice that I don't like as much as her 80s, 90s, and even early 2000s output. But this album has solid songs and reminds me a bit of the feel on World Without Tears and West, which were both excellent albums.
I think this one will get better with each listen (and it seems as though the 2nd half is better than the first in many ways).
