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 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 81.5/100, a mean average of 80.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.6.

Taking everything Tame Impala did on Lonerism but with more pop sensibility in the sojg writing.

A very solid album. Feels a little repetitive with the synth, but otherwise will definitely consider this a classic modern day psychedelic album

If you like repetitive synth loops, if you like repetitive lyrical phrases, if you suffer from insomnia, this may be the perfect record for you.

An artist with a unique style who seems to have found his sound on this project. It is very consistent in this regard as all songs follow in the same template with the synth lead tracks that all sound very heavy and like a modern reincarnation of prog music. He makes his music stand out and creates some fantastic songs in the process. A few of the highlights for me are Let It Happen, Eventually and The Less I Know The Better. The melodies on this song are genius and they always pull me back to this album. However, there are a few weaker tracks and a few songs that could probably have been left off the release. Songs like Past Life, Reality In Motion and Gossip are a few example of this. Without these songs the album is a better release. Overall, some fantastic moments of a unique modern prog rock blend that is held back by run time and weaker cuts.
