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 70.3/100, a mean average of 69.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 69.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 9.8.

Fantastic instruments are hindered by sub-par lyrics and a mixed bag of lyrics.

Listening to Confetti reminded me of the first time I heard of Passion Pit's Sleepyhead, a light and fluffy tune I really didn't have to invest a lot of time into to enjoy. The difference between Passion Pit and Cold Cove is that there is a good amount of diversity among the songs on Cherish the Light Years. While the overall sound remains this throwback to bands like Depeche Mode and The Cure, there is a clear cut difference between poppy songs like Catacombs and Confetti and deeper, darker songs like Burning Sage. This makes the album very enjoyable and keeps your attention throughout.
