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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 78.2/100, a mean average of 77.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.1.

C’est un sans-faute dans le fond mais pas forcément dans la forme. Il n’y a aucun mauvais titre, tous les morceaux sont bons, vraiment. Mais il n’y en a aucun qui ressort particulièrement : même Take Me Out, qui est devenu un tube, aurait pu être remplacé par n’importe quel autre dans ce rôle. L’ensemble est ultra cohérent, centré sur un seul objectif : faire danser.
L’univers est clair, direct, et la pochette minimaliste fonctionne parfaitement pour un premier album. On sait à qui on a affaire. Il n’y a pas de concept fort ou de thématique profonde, mais tout est aligné sur une même énergie. C’est un album homogène, très bien produit, facile à écouter en entier… mais auquel il manque peut-être un petit supplément d’âme ou une vraie prise de risque pour être inoubliable. (Edited)
Great debut. Very catchy and some killer tunes on it. Couple of misstep fillers in the back end, but overall quite consistent. (Edited)
Très bon album. Énergie punk, rythmiques hyper dansantes et refrains pop : un mélange très efficace.
Titres préférés : Take me out et Darts of pleasure.
Ich heisse Superfantastichhh! (Edited)
Catchy garage rock/pop. A good debut with lots of killer riffs, Take Me Out being the highlight. (Edited)

Marco da década e guitarra inesquecível.
