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)

The most underrated, underappreciated album of the 2000s.
Manages to seamlessly tackle several different styles, keeping you guessing what is coming next. Unfortunately, LP's eclecticism is also it's only major flaw, this is more an emulation of several of their indie rock contemporaries than an attempt to find their own sound.
That aside this is a set of some insanely catchy pop music held up by some steady songwriting. The songs are very immediate and addicting, they all sound like singles, the trouble is they sound like singles released by a dozen different bands.

Ambulance ltd's LP starts off with a sexy, guitar churner "yoga means union" showing enough skill to let you know you should take these guys seriously, before sliding into one of the best tracks "primitive (the way i treat you)" and its snide-yet-caring "relax, don't think about / the way i treat you (believe me)". The best track is "heavy lifting" and its steady, dreamy indie rock stream singing "I'm taking it easy if it comes to fate / But for the time i've gotta wait". The album comes off as unremarkable, but it's pretty good indie pop/rock sometimes reminding me of andrew bird, sometimes BSS, sometimes spoon ("sugar pill") and sometimes the thrills. They carry sage-weighed vocals on the chorus of "stay where you are". "young urban" stretches out well to close with a nice velvet underground cover "the ocean" at the end.
