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 9% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.9/100, a mean average of 74.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.8.

This album never quite lives up to the potential of its singles, unfortunately. Still, it's probably Chairlift's best.

A solid pop record that was overlooked in my opinion.

Hearing chairlift i think of a more synthetically processed matt & kim or maybe camera obscura. Chairlift are poppier, there's no doubt. I'd more expect them to cover hall & oates than the bird and bee. But that's digressing -- all of these synth-pop tunes lean towards the hook, some executing better than others, like "sidewalk safari". It sounds like Library Voices awash in synth with a hint of stevie nicks / fleetwood mac. A couple songs near the end are "just ok", which keeps me from really liking this one.
Not a bad cd on any accounts, but there are just so many half-baked songs and it often seems to play to the worst of those modern brooklyn-band pretensions
Skirting down the corridors to deep in the pan shiny melted felt tips we have this little album! For all its merits and all its charm it keeps a calm smile and polite facade at all times. 'Met Before' and 'I belong in your arms' really prove it can set the roof a light though. Aims high, gets bigger and exceeds all expectations. No disappointment to be found every where. Your shiny shiny album for 2012!
I Belong In Your Arms is def. one of my favorite tracks of 2012
