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 77.2/100, a mean average of 75.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.5.

A brilliant album, one of the early contenders for album of the year. It sounds quite similar to Deerhunter's Halcyon Digest and a couple of tracks are a bit like Radiohead's In Rainbows. Fantastic vocals, like a less OTT Antony Hegarty

If you want to talk about high quality dream pop, look no further than The Antlers and more specifically this album. It’s ethereal, it’s interesting, it’s a great album to listen to. It’s dream pop with a hint of indie rock to it. And it’s great music. If you like to sit down, relax, turn off the lights, close your eyes and tune out to some music, this is the album for you. It may put you to sleep, but in the best, most relaxing way possible. It’s a great album and definitely one worth listening to.

Every Night My Teeth Are Falling Out is a song I could see becoming one of my favourites. Title's pretty mouthy and silly to say though. Sadly, this is nowhere near Hospice, but it's still very good. A different vibe from the Antlers that we're used to. Very melodic & enchanting at times, with the catchy epics in between.
The album cover for both this album and Hospice are absolutely perfect!!! The two arms on Hospice give a beautiful illustration of both the album's story and the emotions audiences feel when they listen to it. Burt Apart is very similar when it comes to the message delivered by the album cover. Less straightforward as the two arms that perfectly capture Hospice's themes, moods, and tone; the wet imagery of greens, yellows, and black set up a perfect entrance to the music of Burst Apart.
"but it's the best album of the 10's so far." this is why I don't post on these comment pages anymore, can't edit them later on when you disagree with yourself. Still an album I really enjoy though, although it isn't a scratch on Kaputt as far as the 10s goes, in my current opinion subject to change.
