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 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 78.2/100, a mean average of 77.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.0.

I thought 'This Is Why' was pretty honest. I thought it was pretty upfront. And I thought it was the sound of a band continually progressing and challenging expectations. Only time will tell if it ends up being hailed as a modern classic...
This is why i'm such a big fan of this band.

In 14/02 best album in 2023 by far...
Masterpiece
Paramore going full on post punk is an absolute treat

I knew this album was going to be good after the singles were certified modern rock classics. What I wasn't expecting was the extremely intimate, and moving closing moments.
Really enjoyed this album, catchy throughout and overall an enjoyable listen. ‘This is why’ and ‘the news’ stand out as my two favourite tracks off of the album but ‘thick skull’ and ‘you first’ were two more personal highlights for me outside of the singles.
I would say this album relies pretty heavily on its influences though, but certainly not so much that it isn’t true to the band and if I’m being picky I think it can seem a little one dimensional instrumentally at points, but the lyrics are interesting enough and it’s still more than catchy enough to make it worth the listen.
If I had to sum it up I’d say punchy, catchy and concise. 80/100
