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 72.9/100, a mean average of 73.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.5.

There is no fire at all here, let a alone a bad one. This is more like Sleep Pop than Dream Pop. It is invariably artistic but never entertaining.
Well, there might be people who don't like the sound of Mogwai that much. But someone who likes them will love this album because they have summarized everything from their career. It's just great! Whether it's the quiet/loud shema or the epic melodies. They leave nothing out. And if that's what it takes, then their vocoder vocals come in from time to time. Every song deserves a single. If you like post-rock: here is the album that makes 2025 wonderful
