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 73.4/100, a mean average of 71.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.4.

Although I love Richard Swift, I really missed the old band on this album. This album sounds bland and antiseptic, kind of like suburban coffee shop music, compared to the earlier Shins albums. The sound is just way too clean, with rounded childproof edges, and the melodies are mostly safe and predictable. I wish Mercer and Richard Swift would try doing an album with just the two of them and not call it the Shins. I think they're both great artists and ought to try working without the pressure of the Shins moniker. I might sound a little harsh right now because I'm listening to the exceptionally bland "No Way Down." The track after it, "For a Fool," is much more interesting, but overall this album is the Shins' "Around the Sun" in my book.

The weakest Shins album by a significant margin for me, but given how much I love the Shins, it's still good. It's very front heavy though.
The end of the album doesnt seem as close to as strong so some of their other stuff, but still a great album
okay album

I loved this album for a long time right after I bought it (within a week after it came out), but my opinion on it has changed quite a bit, I still like the album though.

If this is considered their worst, I can't wait to hear their best! Good album.

No Way Down is a clear highlight for me.
GREAT album!

I fear to be disappointed at every new record they make but they still have it. Not their best work but still a good album!

This album is just as good as any of the other Shins albums. The instrumentation is cool, the lyrics are well-written and the music is great. It’s everything you could want and ask for in a Shins album. Whether you’re a Shins fan or not, I highly recommend this album to everyone. It is most definitely worth listening to.
