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 4% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.8/100, a mean average of 75.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.7.

Was expecting more of the baroque sound from their debut but the art-funk was a nice suprise and really carves out their individuality. The result of a damn good album.

Though for me to relate to this album.
I enjoy the deep singing of Tom Fleming but the high pitch voice of Hayden Thorpe gets on my nerves.

I do enjoy 'Hooting and Howling' although it is sung by Thorpe.

Excellent production on this album.

Great follow up to, limbo panto. Two dancers, is a slightly more reserved, if that's the right word, but in a good way. I'm probably trying to say that this album is a lot less bonkers than the first one. Still, two dancers, is great with strong cuts in, hooting and howling, and, this is our lot. Wild beasts are one of the most original band's to come out of England in a while, and this is one of their best LP's.
