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 66.1/100, a mean average of 60.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 60.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 19.1.

I quite enjoyed it, it was pretty straight forward but soothing which makes for an easy listen.

it sounds strange, but not like in an interesting way or an extremely dissonant way that makes the shaggs cool, more like an *off* way. the vocals are bizarrely unpleasant and the production seems like an ill-thought-out, sloppy assortment of various presets. that being said, throughout "the floundering" it sounds like you're being submerged underwater which conceptually works and is a nice touch - all those bubble sounds and sprays of water. besides that, i'm struggling to think of merits, however the final two tracks are the best here
