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 77.0/100, a mean average of 76.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.2.

A subtle work and one which is very often underrated in my opinion.
This is my favourite Mac DeMarco album. On first listen it was underwhelming but it has grown on me so much that in my opinion it now surpasses Salad Days. Some lovely songs here, my favourites being Still Beating, Moonlight On The River and One Another.

Su mejor trabajo.
I appreciate the change in sound for this one, but the drum machines and up-front repetitive acoustic guitar riffs don't really do it for me. The songwriting is still very strong, though, for the most part.

Mac's most relaxing release yet. I love to put this one on with friends or alone and just take it super easy. He writes very well and his use of synthesizer adds some much needed colour to the record. It's a standout in the over-saturated jangle pop market.

Yep, definitely best album of 2017.

If you like Mac Demarco, this album will make you happy. For me, I don't mind it, but it's kinda more of the same as what he's done before - maybe a little more dreamy and spacey.
A truly masterpiece for the ones who have a blessed soul.
Good album!
B+
