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 72.5/100, a mean average of 71.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.1.

This is indie rock for the walkmen quite the same as any other walkmen release save for a more cheery outlook. The first three tracks are pretty solid and features my favorite walkmen song in a (long) while, "heartbreaker". In fact, this could be my favorite walkmen album to date!

Less indie and a bit more "rural", Robin Peckhold's influence on these guys is noticeable through the album and this is never a bad thing. The group has evolved into a more mellow sound as the years pass giving their music richer and more emotional textures. Underrated in my opinion...

I laughed during “Jerry Jr.’s Tune”. That track is the perfect representative for how bad this album is. Heaven made me hopeless, there is no longer a light to look forward to in my life. Why do I need to go on?

One more record but I can't seem to get tired of what they do. Keep it up!
