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 84.2/100, a mean average of 82.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 84.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.3.

This is a brilliant album. I can't believe I've forgotten to add it too my chart for so long! So many good influences on it and the lyrics say so much in so little. Always play it before parties to get in the mood, songs like "Someone Great" and "All My Friends" remind me to cherish my time with my friends. I think thats one of the highest compliments I can give an album.
I love it when there are records that are accessible and eccentric at the same time. It's kind of a win-win situation for people that have different tastes. They can meet in the middle with an album (or an artist) like this.

This IDM/dance album benefits from James Murphy making most of these songs more personal, interjecting his personality into this album much more than this debut.

In all truth, the grooves aren't that fun (very repetitive), the lyrics are actually quite cliched, and much of it feels like a Talking Heads rip-off.
That said, in SOME of the songs there's some quite genuine emotion mixed in ("Someone Great", "All My Friends") and in others, a fine elegy to punk music ("North American Scum", "New York I Love You")
I hate the fact that the word "masterpiece" is overused when people describe albums that they like but after listening to this. It's almost an understatement.
