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.
Atmospheric without being earth-shattering
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
