Rating metrics: Help 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 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 81.9/100, a mean average of 80.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 82.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.1.

This was my introduction to Arcade Fire. It's like an album of mostly transcendent celebratory songs. They're a very unique band. Not their best but still a damn fine album

Can't deny they're talented but there's something about them that I just find cringey. Something about introverts trying to be Springsteen.. Their 'fragile male voice singing rousing anthems' formula clearly caught on and was probably responsible for a lot of crap in pop music the following years. Also, if it weren't for the rich arrangements many of these songs would be unremarkable.

I really liked Funeral, but this one didn't do it for me. I don't understand the hype around this album. I do really like Keep The Car Running though. No Cars Go and Windowsill are nice too.

They took everything about Funeral and improved upon it. Those last two tracks are amazing.
