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 13% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.4/100, a mean average of 74.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.1.

Took me a lot of listens to really get into this. Yours Conditionally is one of my favourites, and I was a bit disappointed when I heard this one at first. I loved runner, but that was it. But now, I rate it as one of my top 5 albums of all time, and gave it a perfect score of 100/100. There is so much depth in the lyrics, the instrumentation, the movements. I love this album so much, and I think their songwriting here is completely unmatchable. There is clearly an insane attention to detail. So immacculate. Tennis fans, hope you give it a few more listens. Took me at least 10 to really start to get into it.
Didn't enjoy this album as much as their previous two. I like the title track, Swimmer, but the rest of the album isn't particularly noteworthy.

Checked this out based off the two singles and didn't find anything that I think really compares with them. It's good music but a few songs are more creative than others.

Synths and pop have turned this extremely bland duo into a very cheesy one. I call that an improvement.

Very solid collection of indie pop tunes. Heartfelt lyrics, great melodies, strong dramatic intention. Wish it dove a little deeper or strive for a bigger concept, but definitely a great listen with personal songs. Especially love Matrimony II
A nice listen. Very retro, very laid back.
