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 70.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.8.

I suppose this one hasn't aged particularly well (thanks to the success of later work), but I remember hearing this when it was first released (pre-Funeral), and it was exciting and fresh to hear at the time. I imagine that if I'd been familiar with the band's LPs prior to hearing this, I might be quick to dismiss it, but I don't think the band gets enough credit for this effort.
Context is everything. (Edited)
Honestly one of my all-time favorite albums. I wish this EP were more recognised as a legitimate part of Arcade Fire's discography. This album provides a wonderful charm and atmosphere that I've never found anywhere else.
Love hearing their early beginnings, I agree all tracks 5/5 cept My heart is an apple. Favorite is Vampire/Forestfire
One of the best EPs I've ever listened to. I'm glad that BEA allowed me to include it on my charts.

I think if this was the only thing they ever did, I'd probably not give it the time of day (just being honest), but it's fun to see their early days, with a noticeable difference with the smaller budget for recording/etc.
Some of it was intriguing and some of it was a bit boring/wouldn't choose to listen to again, but not bad.
I got a Neil Young feel from it sometimes. My Heart is an Apple was my least favorite and Headlights like diamonds and the submarine song were my favorite.
