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 Bayesian average rating of 72.9/100, a mean average of 71.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.4.

Huge nostalgia factor for me here. This is the early 2010's indie scene in a nutshell. I seriously cannot think of an album that epitomizes it more. The echo-y sound, the strange instrumentation (has any band used a glockenspiel this much before or since?) and the clearly fake drum sounds because neither of the two members of the duo play drums. Good, but nothing special in retrospect.
Really good! Cute!
I enjoyed it thoroughly.
After one listened to the album seems to be interesting. You can listen to a few times :)

Nice album, strong start and holds up well to the end. A personal favourite of 2011 (Edited)
