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 11% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.7/100, a mean average of 74.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.3.

La primera vez que escuché "Kick The Tragedy" simplemente voló mi cabeza, realmente es una gran canción y vale cada uno de los 8 minutos con 56 segundos que dura la pista... El resto, es un solido álbum de shoegaze pero nada por arriba del promedio, a excepción de "Wiona" la cual es una muy buena canción también.

The first time I heard "Kick The Tragedy" it just blew my mind, it really is a great song and worth every 8 minute 56 second track... The rest is a solid shoegaze album but nothing for above average, except for "Wiona" which is a very good song too.

Noisy and fun, mostly failing in its monotony between songs and in the contents of them. Was good background music but rewarded when you paid attention to it

It's a bit of a forgotten classic. Bits Ride/Slowdive/MBV/shoegazey,and bits Sonic Youth style noisy art-rock. Delaware, My Aquarium, and Winona (in particular) are just splendid. Plus a (presumably ironic?) Madonna cover.

I second everything Secondsoul wrote. "Winona" is a great 90's hit.

Largely inconsistent! I absolutely love "Winona" but there are a couple of poor tracks on here too!

"I think it was the first time I realized that I can change the world,
or at least change the way you and my sister hit the clock on every tick just to see what happened.
The time has really flown by I guess and it's hard to think of the way it might've been or remember very specifically the words and all the rest of it.
I was down, more than I wanted to be probably.
That is what we do with it all together,
like the orange trees in the backyard and it's Easter and it just won't end.
Fucking Phil, he's off with his boys somewhere and I'm just sitting here getting more and more lost with everything.
And that was the thing about it, it's not as if a cousin promised something and taken it away.
It was like nobody could share my so-called dreams, which really meant none of it was happening.
And that reach around midnight left her with just about that, nothing.
There's not anything particular about it either and I think the whole thing gets vaguer every second,
but I am too and there's nothing wrong with that.
It's even funny when you stop to realize I'm just nineteen,
and how serious can anything be anyway? Not very."
