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 6% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.5/100, a mean average of 76.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 10.7.

DIIV is shoegazing hard on this, sounding a lot like My Bloody Valentine's "Soon" tone-wise. I love this sound, but the melodies themselves are not very memorable. It is an enjoyable record overall.
This album really has grown on me. Didn't love it immediately like Is The Is Are, however after revisiting the album again and again it sinks in and takes hold. The individual tracks are strengthened by the whole. Diivs guitar sound has really continued to get more massive with each album.
Like this album, Blankenship my favorite.
Good album.
Favorite tracks: Like Before You Were Born, Between Tides
B+
I'm loving the evolution of DIIV with this new record. More guitars and distortion (best exemplified in Blankership) but still dreamy. Skin Game works perfect as a single. Deceiver is growing on me more and more and will probably be there in my 2019 list.
