Rating metrics: Help 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 5% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.8/100, a mean average of 76.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 8.7.

Not sure why they aren‘t massive. Ok, no art rock with a whiny singer. That might explain the position on this site. Instead you get highly energized indie soul (?), very catchy, adictive with some sort of a dirty street vibe. Very enjoyable album.

This has to be the most replay-able album I've heard all year.

It's remarkable to me that they are so unheard of (at the time of writing at least), but the mystery around them and the purity of expectations that creates upon the first listen really goes a long way.

A lot of it sounds like if Portishead took a radical left turn and went really discoey, maybe did a bunch of Liquid Liquid covers and threw on some really soulful R&B vocals with an endless stream of great hooks. The production is so cold and murky, the album art a is perfect accompaniment to that feeling.

I'm really excited to listen to 7 a tonne if I ever get tired of this (maybe 1, 2, 3, 4 & 6 eventually too??? Lol I have no idea what the hell the deal is with these guys!).
