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 has a Bayesian average rating of 70.3/100, a mean average of 70.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 69.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 8.8.

Fairly bog-standard indie guitar fare. Bit of Franz Ferdinand in there. Not spectacular

Canadian indie rock band Wolf Parade returns with a shimmering piece of guitar-heavy post-punk, with hooky melodies and psychedelic influences. They manage to sound like Interpol, had the latter band decided to go for a more varied, radio-friendly sound. That being said, a majority of the songs here form characterless walls of sound; unwelcoming, cold and melancholic.

There's a sense of nostalgia in here too, in some of the new wave-inspired tracks, that replace the guitars with synthesizers. But the promising beginning very quickly turns into an album devoid of smells and tastes. There's very little here to consider after listening and it is admittedly a forgettable album, save for the opener and a couple of other good songs.

Nice enough new release from this Canadian cult group complete with 80’s synths and baritone vocals even with the song quality dipping through the 2nd half of the album
