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 73.0/100, a mean average of 71.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.7.

Their weakest album in my book, but still well worth a listen. Paradise Circus the obvious highlight - it's one of their best songs.
Tunde from TV on the Radio was a fantastic addition, his vocals fit in perfectly with their style. This band has never made a weak album. This proves it once again.
Clearly better than 100th window. The quality clearly goes down after “Psyche” though. Anyway, those first five songs are sure great.
Ritorno con i soliti tempi biblici per i Massive Attack e questa volta, a differenza del disco precedente, parzialmente deludente, i risultati sono buoni. A giudicare dalla prima canzone pure ottimi, ma il proseguo del lavoro sarebbe stato leggermente inferiore all'incipit rappresentato da "Pray for rain" per cui ancora oggi io identifico "Heligoland" quasi esclusivamente con la sua prima canzone.
I love Pray for Rain, Splitting the Atom,Saturday Come Slow, Atlas Air.
They need Mushroom and more dub and hip-hop tastes,beats.
I hope Mushroom would come back.
I can't wait the next album anymore !
I think people are spending too much time comparing it to their best album whatever that might be, instead of just listening. When you compare albums then you will miss out on loving it.
Now for the album, I love it all, maybe one or two tracks near the end not as much but there's plenty to love here I think.
Psyche is possibly my favourite song, the singers voice is top quality and good to see Massive Attack purely using instruments which they hadn't done before for an album.
They have a new album out this year apparently and looking forward to that as they are one of my very favourite artists.
Apparently its just me, but Atlas Air is a massive track. Average album, but with a out of this World track
Best tracks: Flat of the Blade, Pray for Rain, Paradise Circus.
Not the best from Massive Attack, but a very good album
Very dull; "Pray For Rain" is worth listening to only because of Tunde Adebimpe".
