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 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.0/100, a mean average of 76.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.0.

Sounding like a demon fronting New Order, Future Islands 'In Evening Air' was one of the truly magical products of the early 2010s (Edited)

Excellent album. This masterpiece is highly underrated.
Favorite tracks : Walking Through That Door, Swept Inside, Vireo's Eye
Less favorite track: I can't target a weak song...
I wonder what the lead singer is like. I liked his moves on Letterman. I can dig it.
