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 25% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.5/100, a mean average of 72.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.3.

A great debut. Every song is memorable. My highlights are All In White, Norgaard and Post Break Up Sex.

Just getting to hear this in 2019 and I love it. Agree with JimagineL that everything doesn't have to be revolutionary. This builds on and gives their twists from stuff before and delivers a great album.

This is just a super fun record! "Oh It sounds like Artic Monkeys, It isn't new, another strokes band" oh men, c'mon not everything has to be revolutionary, you guys have to put these things out of your mind.
This is why rock bands struggle to get attention, they can't move a finger without being compared to It or that. It is just annoying, and when they try to do something diferent they are criticized as well. It doesn't mean bands shouldn't be criticized or compared, but fuck, be a little more creative.

The U.K's continuing fascination with garage rock has seen the almost effortless ascendency of The Vaccines. By no means the most innovative band on the planet, The Vaccines are more concerned with adding a few more spokes than re-inventing it. And that is no bad thing considering the kind of sucker-punch songs on display here that any band worth their salt would kill to get their hands on.

A fun summer record. Although it is sometimes held back with a slight lack a variety, theres a lot to love here
