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 6% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.6/100, a mean average of 74.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.6.

Hmmm...............It did make me listen to My Bloody Valantine for the first time in a while, still this is just an average album.
A truly magical listen that feels like something special as it grabs your attention right from the phenomenal opening song. The group then go on a ridiculous run of form with the next 4 songs seamlessly blending together to create an intoxicating atmosphere that deserves to be experienced by everyone. Instrumentally, it is stunning and this is consistently maintained throughout the whole album making it so easy to fall in love with the musical quality present on here. However, they do lose a bit of momentum in the second half with some songs not being up to the standard of Polaris or Arrival. Despite this, we are also treated to some outstanding tracks such as Blossom which is one of my personal highlights from the album. Due to the high quality present on here, I have also found myself being constantly brought back to the music and it is swiftly becoming one of my favourite records to experience. Overall, this is an early front runner for album of the year and it deserves all the praise it is receiving as musically it is beautiful.

Finally got around to this. Will need to re-listen, but damn is this pretty.
Not really my cup of tea. Shoegazey, fairly tepid pop/rock. Not really breaking new ground or doing anything interesting.

The fairytale and hypnotic world painted by one of the underground revelations is worthy of the enchantment that we find in fantasy stories, filled with love and warmth. All the good ideas that we have discovered for some time have really materialized here on "After The Magic", as a kind of achievement for Parannoul. The South Korean artist confirms his hype, opting for efficiency and sonic variety, leaving (almost) any frills aside. It is a real demonstration from the beginning to the end even if the second half of the album remains less brilliant

Never heard of these guys before but really glad to have come across this.
Yes! I was blown by this record. Sounds Inside Me, Waves inside You is an amazing song. Such a beautiful shoegazy album
Early contender for album of the year. Parannoul keeps getting better and better each album.
First time listening to Parannoul, and it most definitely won't be the last time either after this. A fantastic blend of Korean pop and climactic shoegaze. Great Album that will be vying for my AOTY for sure.
