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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 78.7/100, a mean average of 77.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.1.

Imagine The Strokes if they lacked all sense of fun, charm and surprise- and The Strokes aren't even that original, in my opinion. The guitars are hook-less but competent, and the vocals are dreadfully rote and uninspired. Hard pass. (Edited)

Next Exit is a fantastic opener. Evil, Not Even Jail and Length of Love are also strong tracks. Great follow up and cemented me as a fan - even though I never got to them until 2018! (Edited)

I don't understand the mixed reception with this album as there is so much to love on this record. Every track is quality and has so much energy that it passes into you as you listen. The guitars are loud and very infectious with the drums providing a fantastic backing and this is consistent for every song. Tracks like Evil, Slow Hands and Next Exit are some of my favourite ever Interpol tracks and I am constantly replaying them every time I revisit this album which is very frequently. The vocal is brilliant and the lyrics are dark and fun to explore and they are delivered with such a punch. However, the quality of the music has slightly dipped from TOTBL but that is not surprising as that is one of the greatest records ever recorded. This release follows closer behind to that record than some people give it credit for and has everything a fan of Interpol should love. Overall, this record has a brilliant track list that leads from one fantastic song into the next right up until the closing seconds. (Edited)
