Rating metrics: Help 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 8% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.1/100, a mean average of 74.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.0.

Found this album thanks to Johnny Jewel's influence on the soundtrack for the film Drive and boy have I been digging it!

Sure its length is definitely going to turn a few people off from this fantastic piece of synth pop, but those who stay for the ride will be quite pleased with this treat from the Chromatics.

Best Tracks: Kill For Love, Into The Black, and my personal fave These Streets Will Never Look The Same.

There was a lot of empty space in the middle of it that threw me off. It's a bit long.

I fell in love with this after a while, but man... talk about one heck of an album. Yeah, it's a behemoth, and maybe not justified at times, but boy are the highs here incredible. Maybe it's a bit shameful that my favorite song here is their Neil Young cover, but they make it their own in the best way possible. Anyhow, this is incredible. It ought to get more notice.

This album is truly an earcandy. Just pick up some nice headphones and embrace an hour of sexyness.
