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 68.1/100, a mean average of 66.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 66.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.7.

Alive is by far my favorite track, but songs like DNA, ConcertPitch, Ice on The Dune and Old Flavours I could listen to hours at a time. Such a solid album

I don't quite agree with benjameen that the songs all sound the same. Alive is a great summer pop song, but the entire album is chalk full of songs that aren't just "party tracks." The opening track "LUX" is John Williams-esque, almost as if they are introducing the listener to the "Emperor" of the Sun. Other songs like DNA and Concert Pitch embody feelings of longing and desire. My favorite track is I'll Be Around, which is just a sweeping landscape of emotion. All in all, I think its a very good Sophomore album, and definitely worthy of the exposure.

This album kinda reminds me of a mix between iamamiwhoami, Merriweather Post Pavillion, and Flo Rida. Iamamiwhoami for the lavish music videos, Merriweather Post Pavillion for the happy and psychedelic mood, and Flo Rida because all of these songs sound the same. I mean, they're not BAD songs, but after having Alive shoved down my throat every time I want to watch a youtube video, I would've thought they would be something big and exciting, but all of the songs are, to me, just psychedelic club songs. The only song that I think is really good is Ice On the Dune.
