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 4% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.1/100, a mean average of 76.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.9.

A severely underrated album that should be talked about as among the year's best.
Dan Snaith's various projects--first under the Manitoba moniker, then as Caribou--show an incredible variety of instrumentation and creativity in using electronic effects to produce hypnotic beats and neo-psychedelic soundscapes. Andorra might be his sunniest work, a sound that could be what Brian Wilson would broadcast from the summit of a snow-capped peak in the Pyrenees: pillow-soft harmonies over electronica with just a little bit of a jagged edge. My favorite track from this album is "Sandy," with its agreeable sleigh bells and flutes complimenting lyrics straight out of the hippies' sixties: "Twirl things around us / And the shadows they left as they found us / Or running fingers through your hair." Sigh.
Definitely their best record. Finely executed and produced, a lovely album.
It's not bad, but it does sound like the same Byrds song played over and over with minor variations.
@Precedent - That comment doesn't even make any sense. "Redundancy" of what exactly? It's almost like you heard that word, thought it sounded cool and figured you'd use it, without having any actual idea how to.
The sound and redundancy just got a bit boring/irritating.
Pretty electronic and psychedelic... very nicely crafted album.

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
