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 72.8/100, a mean average of 71.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.9.

A pretty solid post punk revival album. Think of The Editors, but they also take a lot of queues from Interpol, but not as dark.

Average but nothing more than that. Interesting that one person said they thought it was better than Editors In the Back Room. Thought the opposite tbh...although Editors really tailed off after their strong debut

One of my favourites. Death is a fantastic opener and sets the tone for the rest of the album. Wouldn't compare them to Editors I would say this is much better than The Back Room ever was.

Great album along the lines of Interpol meets the Editors.

I think it was a great debut, lots of great tunes in this album. But, despite I think is a good album, I was never in love with it, that`s why I havent even follow their other two albums.

Probably my favorite album of the past 5 years. My one and only issue is that they claim they don't like Joy Division, despite sounding a fair bit like a poppier, more modern Joy Division ...

Consistently good and without doubt one of the best albums released in 2009. I fear that they'll probably not better this debut though!
