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 7% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.2/100, a mean average of 73.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.6.

He doesn't sound like a gorilla. Maybe I'm not giving gorillas enough credit. I can dig it.
One of my all-time favorite albums. This album has helped to shape the way I view music these days. Local Natives sets the bar high with musical content and quality of writing... and let's not forget about those harmonies. Easily one of the coolest albums to have come out in recent years.
An extremely underrated album, every time I listen to it I hear small little things that make this album very good.
It's a disgrace that Green Day is rated higher than this.
1. Who Knows Who Cares is one of the most poignant tracks I've heard
2. Most bands dream of releasing a debut album this strong these days

This is seriously one of my favorite albums I own. I can't tell you how many times I've listened to this album over and over again. So phenomenal.

The first four tracks of this are all above average, but nothing I haven't heard from the likes of Grizzly Bear, Bon Iver, or Fleet Foxes in the last three years. I can't say I'll even remember this album in three years.
The album has a nice life of its own. Shape Shifter is the best one.
