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 74.7/100, a mean average of 73.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.4.

Although I thought almost every track was decent. I doubt that this album will stick with me
Solid album, if unoriginal. Reminds me of late 70's-early 80's post-punk
Best debut album of 2019 imho, so excited to see what these lads can come up with next.

Really like the energy here, with a few really knockout songs. Definitely got a lot of britpop here, not to mention some prominent U2-isms. Not in love, but I enjoyed this.
One of the best albums this year. Great Album!
Very well put together post-punk album, with hints of britpop and psychedelic rock. The guitar on this album is amazing. The vocals sometime feel out of place however.
Nice post-punk really raw...not masterpiece but nice debut.

These guys are incredible. A fresh and youthful take on a genre that lately has been pretty uninspired. Got the pleasure to see them over the weekend and they were unbelievable. You will be seeing more of shame in the near future.

Tailored, safe-yet-exciting post-punk. A solid debut album that captures themes of youth in a positive outlook on a downtrodden world. Some stellar guitar work on this record, particularly on Concrete, Friction and Angie.
It's hardly the most innovative debut ever, but there's a reason I've been listening to this for nearly a month straight, and I don't see the songs on here disappearing from my regular listening anytime soon.
