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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 78.4/100, a mean average of 77.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.9.

Simply beautiful
Beautiful beautiful album, very under appreciated
A great record to follow two excellent records. Piano Fire might be my favourite Sparklehorse track.
Needs to be a longer album, this was incredible but too short.
This comment is beneath your viewing threshold.
a good friend of mine once walked into the room while i was listening to this album, and after a while he said that the music was like the sonic equivalent of an old roll of movie film that is faded, rough, and darkened around the edges and is always just on the verge of breaking. i thought that was a very apt description.
Maybe his best. Didn't like follow up at all. Another sadly departed talent.
Strangely beautiful is how some have described the music of Sparklehorse, and I think that's very fitting. This, their third album, and first in which Mark Linkous was working free of pharmaceutical influences, is a bit more focused. Track 2 - "Gold Day" is just an amazingly beautiful song.
