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 is rated in the top 25% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.3/100, a mean average of 71.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.1.

In my personal opinion, this this is Foals best album, most of its tracks, except of Bad Habit, Stepson, Out of the Woods (which are average songs), the rest of the album is phenomenal, just crazy!! I cant take it out of my head. My number, Inhaler, Providence, Last Night, Milk & Black Spiders... just massive tunes! Fuck everyone who says its an average or bad album, this is just greatness

This is an album with a lot of peaks and valleys to it. You’ve got some really solid songs on this album, songs like “Inhaler", “My Number" and “Milk & Black Spiders" are great songs that are very easy to enjoy. And then you have other songs on the album that are just thoroughly uninteresting. They’re not bad, but they’re nothing particularly special. It’s unfortunate because the album has a lot of potential to it, potential that is realized in its peaks, but it also has lost potential. This could’ve been a great album, instead it’s a pretty good album.

Best album from Foals, great from start to finish. Even a couple of weaker tracks as Stepson and Everytime don't really spoil it because the other are just awesome. Inhaler, My Number and Providence are powerful songs, Late Night, Milk & Black Spiders and Moon are really beautiful ones. And Prelude is a great opener as well. My favourite album of 2013.
Good album! i like the song My number

I haven't figured out the appeal of these guys yet, but I think I've almost got it. Not bad.
