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 10% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.7/100, a mean average of 73.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.4.

I like 'Can't stand me now'.
Not as good as Up The Bracket, but deserves slightly better than #11 for this mediocre year.
Miss these guys so much, but what a way to go out. Awesome final album.
This album should be higher on the list. Granted, there are some weaker songs like "Don't Be Shy", "Tomblands", "The Saga" and "Road to Ruin" but the rest of the album hits hard. The album has an incredibly strong opening and a very strong first half. The second half may be weaker, but it's certainly not bad.
There's some great highlights in this record but a lot of the tracks feel inconsistent. It's really clear how bad the relationship between Pete and Carl was at the time. I think it's clear Up the Bracket is a much stronger record than this one but this was a decent album by The Libertines
