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 has a Bayesian average rating of 71.3/100, a mean average of 70.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.9.

Stuart Murdochand co appear to have a secret fountain of infinite tunes pumping out enjoyable, charming wistful melodies accompanied by quirky lyrics year after year. And here the magic fountain delivers again with said formula

Being a fan of both B&S and New Pornographers for the past 25 odd years the irony isn’t lost on me how many tracks here sound like their Canadian brethren - “Give A Little Time”, “So In The Moment”, “When Your Not with Me”, “Do You Follow”. You know I’m right

I feel as though Belle and Sebastian currently find themselves in a fruitful period and this continues with 'Late Developers'.

A good listen. Lots of sounds explored on this album. Overall a solid album, but the subpar vocals take away from it at times.

They make positive pop records without giving in to the modern cliches.
