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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 78.4/100, a mean average of 77.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.2.

I would not expect them to be the same band that released Midnight City. Noisy bliss.
In Church, On A White Lake Near A Green Mountain, Be Wild, Gone were my favorites, but every song is fine and better appreciated when listened as a whole. The famous saying the whole is greater than the sum of the parts fits here.

One of those albums where each track is pretty cool on its own but theres not a whole lot distriguishing them from eachother over the period of an entire listen. Still, songs like In Church and On a White Lake are fairly moving and gorgoeus
The flow of this album flows even after it's over, It's amazing!

shockingly underrated
Fairly beautiful album! Liked the parts where the robot was trying to figure out being human and seemed to have very human meltdown. It's all electronic and more so than the Hurry Up album. Unrecorded is my favorite part right now

I definitely understand the intention in this album. It is a beautifully constructed instrumental electronic album, and may fit perfectly as a movie soundtrack. But I found it really hard to get into.
I may sound commercial but I am fonder of his later albums

This and the follow up are great. Don't like the direction he went after the next one.
Dead Cities, Red Seas, & Lost Ghosts is a euphoric album. From beginning to end it is extremely captivating and completely enveloping. The majority of the album is instrumental and the instruments used include synthesizers and drum machines. You might think that this album would get old and boring in short order. Surprisingly enough it does not; not at all; not even close. It is amazing how much emotion and deep personal reflection this album can trigger with each and every listen. This has to be one of the best electronic/instrumental albums I have ever had the pleasure of listening to. I would not have thought before hearing this that a mostly instrumental, electronic, noise album would be this good especially considering that the instruments used are cheesy 80's style drum machines and synthesizers. This album makes the most out of the instruments it uses. That is composition efficiency done right.
