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 7% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.1/100, a mean average of 74.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.9.

Sort of a new way to render No Wave. There is melody but without any logic direction in its evolution. Instead, the focus is all on the martial/obsessive drum patterns or in the pictorial use of guitars.
What's interesting and intriguing is that this kind of No Wave does not sacrifice care on sound production neither variety among the tracks. Almost each song is very discernable: in a NoWave-ish album, that's really precious!
more people should [listen] to this album.
Liars made one of the most tension filled albums of recent memory that works more as an art piece than an album. It really is too bad this one will never get the attention it deserves.
Currently a favorite of mine.
