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 15% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.1/100, a mean average of 74.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.6.

Great debut album. Dry The River have a distinct sound with amazing harmonies. Expecting this to be one of my favourite albums of the year Definetly worth a listen to this band. Personal favourites are 'New Ceremony', 'W&M', 'No Rest', 'Bible Belt','C&TV'.

Songs that start simple and build and build until everything but the kitchen sink is thrown in. Huge choruses. Assured debut.

Love every minute of this brilliant album. Their are numerous massive build-ups within the songs, as well as the whole album build-up to the loud crashing finale of "Lion's Den" and then back down for the secret track at the end of "Lion's Den".
Some great songs, a little bit long in places, but still very good album.
