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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 78.1/100, a mean average of 77.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.6.

This album is musically diverse, melodically rich, and with its tight tracklist the record just flys by.

Jubilee is fun without sacrificing seriousness and explores love without being blinded by it. I would recommend this to anyone looking for something a little different in their pop.

Ethereal, yes, absorbing, not so. Verdict 75/100. I do not need my 37 minutes and 3s back. No waste of time, to say.

“Jubilee” is very ambitious both in topic and instrumentation. The instrumentals are an ever shifting combination of chamber pop, synth pop, and indie rock. More than just genre, the song structure itself will rely on completely different ideas. “Slide tackle” is made different solos layered on top of each other and the following track “Posing In Bondage” is an semi-abstract layering of electronics. The difference is striking and extremely novel. The songwriting follows the pattern of difference with topics ranging from struggles in monogamy to the justification of a billionaire. “Be Sweet” being a highlight with it’s over dramatic cry for attention framed as the climax of a film. Though the albums risk taking deserves to be praised, it does not always succeed. Some song structures feel flat and unengaging. “Posing For Cars” is supposed to break into this emotional guitar solo but it never builds. When the solo finally hits, it instead feels like an extended wallow. “Jubilee” does not reach its full potential but it’s lovely enough to leave a smile.

Very good album, the first few tracks starts really solid the album then it becomes a bit less interesting but still a great project.
