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 73.8/100, a mean average of 73.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 10.9.

The 80s nostalgia thing is so tired now that even when it’s delivered well it leaves a bad taste. This album also lacks a lot of the mitski flair that her other albums had to make it more palatable for larger audiences but actually just makes it pretty lackluster. It’s still good but a rare drop in quality from mitski.
The overall theme of the “Laurel Hell” seems to be emotional vulnerability. Mitski sings about expectations, not feeling loved, and anxiety fairly earnestly. “Stay Soft” embraces the topic best with its scared but very affirming discussion of sex. A limitation is many of the songs feel underwritten. It’s not what is written is not well put together but more verses would flesh out the topics better. Instrumentally, Peter Gabriel like synths coat the album. The synths are antiquated in the best way possible. Their slight awkwardness adds to the topical assailability. The unfortunate exception to this is “That's Our Lamp”. It sounds so goofy that it completely negates the conflict of the lyrics. “Laurel Hell” is not overwhelming in quality, but it has a charming heart to it.

O arranjo e produção de milhões!
Mitski proves to be potentially a very strong songwriter but there are still some songs that seem to be incomplete, like they're circling around themselves without an aim.

How can such a short album by such a disillusioned artist be so good? The production team deserves as much credit as Mitski on this one.

not the most consistent, but has some really fun production and some great tracks
