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 23% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.8/100, a mean average of 72.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.3.

First half is great, second half is very forgettable. Overall - good. The Look, Everything Goes My Way and We Broke Free are my favourites.

There are some good songs on this album, but they're pretty forgettable and the last 4 songs on the album just sink the potential of it. The Look dominates all of them and the bay is a catchy pop tune.

interesting, multi-layered and most of all *fun* pop music that manages to breeze right by like a charming summer holiday. first-rate tunes to make you smile :)

Agree with Covecove. They're definitely a good band, saw them open for Coldplay and they were great, great energy and a great show. The Look and The Bay are great and at least the first half of them album is very good.

Very average album. I do not get tired while listening but does not give joy. The best track: The Bay.

What covecove said sums it up. Great first half, and drops into a very subtle, lame second half. Everything Goes my Way is the best track in my opinion.

Phenomenal first half of the album, stylized electro pop perfectly executed with a great mix of voices and really interesting arangements, the second half is not as brilliant although it stills has a lot of class...
