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 14% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.3/100, a mean average of 74.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.8.

'angel in realtime.' surprised me nicely with the depth of emotion on display and the privately personal story it communicated. I also really enjoyed the musical blend of kinda The National meets The War On Drugs meets The Killers :)

I don't quite have the vocabulary to describe my feelings for Angel in Realtime. I'm still untangling its introspective and raw existentialism. Who are we? Where do we come from? Where do we go? Centered on the death of a father, and written with such tactile specificity. Angels in Realtime can feel, well, hyperreal. What makes this special among a run of (fantastic and moving) death-inspired records from the last decade or so is how blissful and inviting this album is. You can find it corny or saccharine or embarrassing. But it paints a full picture of loss, and is an unsparing look at a complicated parent. Underneath it is one sweet melody and movement after another. It's a great eulogy, bursting with undying love.

On the surface Gang of Youths third album feels like a weird and awkward peek into a private world you shouldn’t be privy to
However, rewarding repeated spins and time to absorb and peel back the onion skin layers ‘angel in realtime’ is in actuality an engrossing experience and towering work that encapsulates Indigenous identity, grief, hope, loss, legacy and (of all things) soccer for an experience that francs GoY’s status as Australia’s pre-eminent band
