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 72.9/100, a mean average of 71.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.2.

I find Biffy Clyro a conundrum musically. With this they have a semi pop-punk sound and method at times. But also have a prog rock feel to them but on a short song cycle. For me they got better with time. I like this more than what came before, I like what came after a lot more (Edited)
Good album, lots of great tracks on here, at least 6 tracks that could be singles. My favourites are That Golden Rule and Bubbles. I'm surprised it's not higher-ranked on this site. (Edited)
I like the instrumentation but you have to go way back to the early stuff before his voice even slightly stops sounding insincere and like he’s over-pronouncing every word. Honestly one of the most irritating front men I’ve listened to.

Melodic, rhythmic and incredibly infectious, Biffy Clyro's Only Revolutions is the most polished, mainstream and stylistically coherent album the band has released so far. The album is highly energetic and filled with happiness, focusing on guitar hooks and staccato rhythms as well as sing-along choruses. This is Biffy Clyro made for the big arenas. The band goes from success to success as they present a string of songs that sound similar but still manage to stand out enough to keep the album interesting.
There isn't a single bad song on this album and almost every song is impossible to shake off, for better or for worse. I rarely come across albums I find to be this consistent in terms of sound and lyrics, but this is one of those occasions. There isn't a bad word I can say about Only Revolutions. Even the slower songs have a powerful characteristic to them, making them very emotional and beautiful breathers between the more uptempo songs.
