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 mean average rating of 71.0/100. The trimmed mean (excluding outliers) is 71.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.5.

Interesting use of electronic music. 'Houdini' and 'Waste' are underrated songs.
Great pop album. Very catchy songs and very well crafted.
Not really an indie fan, but some good indie pop songs on it. "Houdini" and "waste" are great, but "Pumped Up Kicks" is a classic.
One of the more enjoyable albums of the decade so far. If you like pop music, you'll probably like this one.
This album is like Vaseline smooth to the touch but perhaps a little too to leave an impression.

Pumped Up Kicks is my jam
It's pretty repetitive in the latter part of the album and comes across and relatively average indie rock, but it has a few really great tracks that make it stand out amongst the crowd. Definitely a strong listen through the whole thing, however, as it has the propensity to soar when it wants to.
Key Cuts: Pumped Up Kicks, Houdini, Helena Beat

Album came at a perfect time culturally.

Something is very wrong with the way people rate on this site, when this album is rated as 71, while the average rating of the songs is 81.
And it's not the only example of how the average of the songs is much higher than the album rating itself.
