Peaceful As Hell

I feel like the main draw of music that's sad or that covers difficult subjects is that it gets across a feeling of not being alone but I'm not sure that it does a lot to make anyone feel better. In fact, some of Black Dresses' own music can have the opposite effect on me. Something like 'Hell is Real' might make me feel a bit more miserable but it's also cathartic, the emotional honesty feels important. 'Peaceful as Hell' does something different. It gives a sense of resolution and being able to cope with difficulties without making up some fairytale story where everything works out in the end. There was a sketch of this approach on 2019's 'Love and Affection for Stupid Little Bitches' where a track as harsh as static talks about never having felt more alive without undercutting the tone of the track. These types of themes are more affective here. "There's a part of me that wants to keep destroying me" is repeated over and over on 'Damage Suppressor' but it's followed up with "I'll keep coming back together again". The album celebrates the slow progress and small victories without looking for some sort of unattainable complete recovery, it celebrates the bravery we show when we try to get better. The outro to their 2019 track 'Death/ Bad Girl' has Rook say "I'm glad we're in the struggle but I wish we didn't have to define ourselves by the struggle at all", 'Peaceful as Hell' reverses this statement and speaks it louder than ever.

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 charts can have several thousand ratings)
This chart is rated in the top 3% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 89.4/100, a mean average of 90.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 90.8/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 6.6.

Some really nice picks here and appreciate the depth with which you've made your track by track notes, if it seems a little random as to which ones you've given writing to. Can't wait for more!
