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 71.2/100, a mean average of 70.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.5.

In Mind is no different to the first few Real Estate albums. I enjoyed Darling and Stained Glass as singles but the rest of the LP doesn't do enough for me. Nice set of jangly guitar lead cuts, but with few memorable moments. On every effort it feels like the band is always on the verge of doing something great, in each song it feels like a great hook or chorus is coming, but it always peters out. In essence, this album and Real Estate in general, is just sensationally OK because they fail to push boundaries.

It's a good album - the first 2-3 tracks are excellent but falls into a comfort zone from there on that it never really recovers from... Not their best (IMO) but very much worth it if you already like them.

Only listened twice so far so maybe I'm being too quick to judge, but this seems like a significant step back from Atlas. Just doesn't have the same hooks and vibrant melodies as their previous albums overall. They stick to their sound which I do love, but it's starting to seem a bit played unfortunately. Going to give it a couple more listens and hope my opinion changes but I'm not holding my breath.

A bit like a softer version Teenage Fanclub or Big Star but nevertheless highly original and catchy as hell with especially Two Arrows as just great.

It starts to lose is heat near the end, but Real Estate still knows how to make some jangly tunes!
