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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.8/100, a mean average of 77.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.6.

Fantastic dream-pop album. Don't have much to say, I should get more into this band's work.

This album starts out so strong, its a little disappointing when it consistently falls short on the last couple of tracks. Dreamy, catchy and slightly ominous in its best parts; some of my favorite Blonde Redhead tracks are on this album.

Favorite tracks: The Dress, Dr. Strangeluv, 23

I'm not all 55 minutes through it, and my opinion hasn't changed much. This is a really cool album. I'll definitely be coming back to it. I'd also like to note that I just looked at the playclock for my last comment, and it happened to be at 23 seconds. It didn't even register with me that that was the name of the album until like track 4.

Such an underated album...it's amazing. I just can't see why it's not up there with Beach House's Bloom or the like.

I preferred it when they were an unwound rip-off band.

Really great album... if not the best, my favorite.
It was really unfair to listen to Penny Sparkle's after this one.

Prime example of a typical HIPSTER album. Every hipster and their dog was raving about it when it came out and a couple of months later and it's just another flash in the pan. It deserves far better than that.
