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 61.6/100, a mean average of 60.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 60.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.6.

I have listened to it twice but can find nothing to remind me of the glories of their earlier releases.
I was a big fan from the beginning. And also Reclector was amazing. But after that? Hum! But this pink one is a pretty surprise to me. A new band would get 4 or 5 stars. But Arcade Fire is not popular by the media. And Win is not a nice man. Oh Regina🥰 Still a very good album.
How far they have fallen pt. II

Despite some shimmering instrumentals and a decent idea to go psychedelic, this is Arcade Fire at their most vapid and lifeless.
Pink Elephant shows that they can dye themselves whatever color they want, they're simply a colorful shell of their former selves.

Pleasantly surprised with this one! I thought the last couple of albums signified the band's downfall, but it feels like things are picking up again here. I really enjoy the different musical palettes, whether it’s the ambient droning intro being countered by the lo-fi indie title track, or the more Reflektor-style arrangements. It’s an enjoyable and consistent listen overall.

Good album, certainly better than their last two. I like the album is shorter and a bit more minimalist, it's better like this, as long as songs are good - which they mostly are. Only the last song is kind of a filler though.
Pretty sure if this album was made by a new, unknown band it would have had rave reviews. But because it's an album made by the "sexual misconduct guy", every critics says it's poop.
This comment is beneath your viewing threshold.

I dunno, I don't get the hate, it's pretty cool. I like when artists try something kinda risky.
How did it go this wrong?
