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 73.0/100, a mean average of 72.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.4.

One of the more divisive 2021 albums option wise and I can see why with Idles working on the theory that if you throw enough at the wall eventually something is going to stick. This album has some 2021 Parquet Courts about it with a departure of sounds and a really inconsistent album

Crawler is the deepest and introspective album of IDLES. All the stridency and atmospheres drawing with darkness and the reflexive deep in the lyrics, make Crawler the more complex and fascinating album in their career.

The slower and more experimental tracks on here are the highlights and some of IDLES best cuts yet. Although it lacks the punch of past projects this still is quite enjoyable.
