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 7% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.7/100, a mean average of 75.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.1.

Fantastic!

This is a brilliant record - an AOTY contender for me, and I say this with some confidence as a long-term fan of the band - this is their best release (IMO) in a career going back to the mid-1990s. A shot in the arm to the corpse of post-rock!
