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 76.3/100, a mean average of 76.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.3.

some really good tracks but I really like when the moments when the melodies or instrumentation shine through. A lot of the noisier stuff doesn't do it for me
Visceral. I mean holy fuck this just punches you in the gut and then runs over you with a truck when you're still lying on the floor trying to make sense and recover from what just happened
Great for listening at night.
Favorite tracks: Don Diasco, I Broke Up, Hives Hives, Over Over, Suha, Poe Poe, Homunculus
A-
Certainly his most honest and exposed, if not his most violent. This is not any Xiu Xiu I'm familiar with, taken to a much higher level than any of his other work I've heard.

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 :(
