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 71.0/100, a mean average of 70.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.0.

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.
Wow! This is so good!! Prime Belle and Sebastian.

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
