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 72.5/100, a mean average of 71.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.1.

Le meilleur album de ce groupe avec le superbe titre d'intro
REALLY good!

If you happen to be a fan of Silversun Pickups, I believe you will like The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart. They have a very similar sound. Some elements of shoegaze, some elements of indie rock all mixed together to make one really good album. One of the things I really like about this album is the drumming. It’s really good, but it’s not featured. It plays in the background and if you’re not listening for it, you won’t hear it, but the drumming is complicated. It’s a fun and interesting album that is enjoyable to listen to multiple times.
As for me, one of the most interesting albums of recent years. A piece of very good music.

really good album, but nothing standout for me.

"belong" often reminds me of the pumpkins' "siamese dream" with that guarded vulnerability and rocking undercurrent. A slightly shoe-gazing version of churning-guitar pumpkins (along with mid-career cure) fills this album and provides an overall welcome change-of-pace from their debut.
I really like Heart In Your Heartbreak! May have to listen to this one

I'm already addicted to it.

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
