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 11% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.6/100, a mean average of 76.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 6.1.

Now I'm a massive fan of Deerhunter, especially their albums Cryptograms, Microcastle/Weird Era Cont. & Halcyon Digest. Nobody seems to pull off the same blend of garage rock, neo-psych, ambient, post-punk, shoegaze, noise rock & krautrock (which they describe as "ambient-punk") quite like they do. Although, it seems I have found one such act that comes very close. Their name? Ulrika Spacek. Don't worry, until recently I hadn't heard of them either but I'm so glad I got the chance to come across them. Now I'm addicted to this album. It's just like the album I mentioned before; Microcastle. And it even brings to mind the same comparisons of other influential artists like Faust, My Bloody Valentine & Can while throwing a certain Radiohead tinge into the mix. It's so good in fact, that I think it'll kick Slowdive out of my top 10 and Alex G from 9th to secure its position there, just behind Vince Staples. Just can't wait to discover what else they have waiting for me in their catalog. (P.S. that cover too! Jesus Christ, do I love it!)

No great change here - which is disappointing, especially as The Album Paranoia sounded so promising. Unlike that album this one also lacks some of the TUNES! that made it such a good listen, favouring instead to retreat back into their own world - which is interesting enough, but not very exciting.
