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 22% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.7/100, a mean average of 74.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 10.7.

Two really good songs on here with Safe & Sound and Kangaroo Court.
A fun listen through and through

There are some really good moments in this album, naturally the single “Safe And Sound" is popular, but there are some good moments within the rest of the album. There’s the really goofy, but still kind of cool “Farrah Fawcett Hair" that features Andre 3000, which is basically just people naming random things that they like, and there’s the catchy “Chasing You". There’s some good moments for sure. There are some moments where the music is just decent, but all things considered, this is a pretty solid album.
Passable American pop. Melodically similar to Empire of the Sun. The highlights for me: "Origami", "Kangaroo Court" & the lead single "Safe and Sound".
