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 66.9/100, a mean average of 65.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 65.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.4.

It's a fine debut, but ultimately nothing special. Feels a bit punky, has some cool tracks on it but they don't add upto much.
A fine debut. Nothing special, but it is catchy and consistently pleasing.

Suprisingly good debut from this incredible band. Very different sound to their later stuff but their penchant for weirdness and a cracking good melody is already apparent. Much rockier/punkier though, which is a fun surprise. Sounds like early R.E.M./My Bloody Valentine and even Nirvana at points. Great album.
