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 78.5/100, a mean average of 77.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.6.

Not so sure as of right now. It kinda blends together, but also, I really dig that. It's a very large collection of songs, each one with something to set it apart. I really dig the atmosphere, and even though I don't think this will top their debut, I'm really happy they're back.
Album of 2022
They’ve managed to take the best parts of their previous hits (Archie, Marry Me , Dreams Tonite, and In Undertow) and mesh them into a variety of flavors on this album. So many ear worms in their discography to begin with, but they seem to have found the perfect production team to cater to their indie pop/dream pop blend.
They’ve also shown that they’re brilliant instrumentalists on this album. Kerry’s keys bounce a lot more rather than support the guitars, but Alec’s guitar work service Molly’s incredible vocal range very fittingly. The additions of Sheri and Abbey on drums and bass, respectively, also give loft these songs past the micro-targeted twee pop that defined Alvvays’s earlier sound.
Molly’s overall vocal performance on this album is the best part, though, as she shows more range, more nuance, and seems to hit the right notes to simultaneously perk your ears up and make you smile and relax your eyes - I could listen to her all day.
The only ONLY knock against this album is that the final 3 songs aren’t nearly as strong as the first 11. And those 11 are very strong.
Best songs: Pharmacist, Does It Get Easier On Your Own?, Many Mirrors, Very Online Guy, Velveteen, Tile By Tile (this song in particular strikes every chord with me)
94/100 (Edited)
Bit like the previous comment. I have looked forward to this more than anything in a while and I think it probably needs a few spins. Obviously great but how much so we'll see. I'm worried they've over egged the production slightly and relegated Molly's vocals somewhat in places.
ALVVAYS doin it again. Another great album as you would expected from this great band.
An enchanted record that grows with every listen.
Shimmery, jangling indie rock that perhaps gets a lil blurred at times but stands overall as a perfect autumnal listen ?
