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 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.3/100, a mean average of 76.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.7.

Much better than their debut, but still pretty mixed in terms of quality.

Such an improvement from Leisure, for sure, their influences are obvious, maybe a little too obvious but it's a fun ride from start to finish

Not quite the finished article, but an absolutely delightful work to listen to that showed the band's promise

Overall: 8.7

Top Tracks: "For Tomorrow", "Advert", "Chemical World"

Catchy and lyrically stellar, but the songs (especially Albarn's singing) get irritating after a while.

Definitely needs more listens, but at first I will say it is more irregular than their first effort, though still a really good album. 8/10.
