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 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 82.3/100, a mean average of 81.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 82.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.4.

Fantastic album, really hits off once you get to Looks Just Like The Sun. From there BSS gives you a wonderful instrumental piece (Pacific Theme) and then onto the two highlights: the beautiful Anthem For A Seventeen Year Old Girl and the excellent Cause=Time. While nothing else on the album hits the high of these two tracks, Lover's Spit and I'm Still Your Fag are also highlights. I also absolutely adore how the album ends by repeating the string part from Anthem!!!!

Very good. I can see myself listening to this as obsessively as I did with The Lonesome Crowded West. Cause = Time is especially great. (Edited)
This album is musically stunning and with each song it just keeps getting better. It is a real highlight of the indie rock scene and demonstrates just how incredible this type of music can be. Every song flows seamlessly into the next and never breaks stride for the full 56 minute run time. While the lyrics at times are a little weak, the album as a whole is fantastic. (Edited)

Don't let their name fool you, this band is nowhere close to the type of music you would expect with the name 'Broken Social Scene.' I find this album to be so unique and interesting that it is honestly one of my very most listened to albums of the past year.
