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 71.6/100, a mean average of 70.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.6.

A nice debut album, the vocalist has a great voice. Sweet Disposition is wonderful, Science of Fear and Rest are also highlights. (Edited)
Like The Killers and Coldplay. Giving me total negative feel.
I feel as though the Temper Trap are extremely underrated in the music world. Dougy Mandagi's voice is so pure and smooth

The two first songs are excellent and the rest of the album is okay.

So atmospheric and immersing, catchy hooks and thoroughly enjoyable throughout. Some tracks drag, some bits are a little boring but overall, I actually really enjoyed this album. Its ambient, delayed instrumentation is really good and the roomy sort of effect that goes on throughout really creates a great atmosphere.
