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 5% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.4/100, a mean average of 76.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.3.

Great album with a lot of high moments from Caroline Polachek

Very quirky and playful. Polachek excitedly ruffles around in her toy box of production tricks. Those whistles, chirps and finger snaps gilding the beat of “Bunny is a Rider” dropping right into the flamenco strings of “Sunset”, then the echoing quartz crystal pops of “Crude Drawing of An Angel”, then the dazzling synth sparks of “I Believe”. It’s like after every track she does a little spin in the air and switches costume. It is a boisterous plunge of a record.
Love Caroline and love this one !! Although I was a tad disappointed that I'd heard pretty much all the best songs on the album as singles before it was released :(( ah well, still holds up as a complete package

Like if FKA Twigs did hyperpop, a dynamic and innovative statement! This album shows her powerful and versatile vocals, which range from breathy whispers to soaring falsettos. Again she blends of pop, electronic, experimental, trip hop, new wave, and traditional music to creating a dynamic sound that, while sparse in sections, is in general much more dense than her last record Pang.
The production is top-notch, with layers of synths, percussion, and other sounds that add to the overall mood. Polachek's lyrics are introspective and often deal with themes of love, loss, and self-discovery, adding a personal and emotional depth to the album. The result is a tapestry of sound that captures the listener's attention, with intricate details that make it difficult to decide where to focus.
Loved this one, but for some reason i was expecting more. the singles are really amazing, but the non singles were meh. My favorite tracks are Billions, Bunny is a Rider and Butterfly Net, but i was disapointed by fly to you. Still, is an album worth listening to.
Caroline definitely has an interesting voice, I enjoy it. The album has some good tracks, for example "Welcome to My Island" or "Butterfly Net". Overall, it's an enjoyable electronic pop listen.
