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 22% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.8/100, a mean average of 73.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.8.

I just couldn’t get into this album unfortunately
Amazing album from Future Islands. Crystal Clear production from John Congleton, phenomenal synth and bass work that propel the tracks forward and who can forget the majesty of Sam Herring's vocals. The live drums they've incorporated on this album give it a beefier and more bombastic feel which I enjoy a lot. Very underrated album and the best of the year so far in my humble opinion.
A delightful recycling of 80's post-punk with a whisper of 90's post-rock editing, all sung by refreshingly persuasive male vocals. Cave is a really great tune worthy of the 4AD legacy.
Sounds great. I haven't heard anything else from them; but this is awsome.
The Future Islands sound starts to get a bit repetitive but it is, nonetheless, a very enjoyable album.
Best Track : Time on Her Side
