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 67.4/100, a mean average of 66.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 67.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.2.

Definitely their weakest release. It's a bit too self-indulgent. I like Your Life Is a Lie and Alien Days. Rest is pretty forgettable. (Edited)

1st song and last 3 are pretty good, but there are some songs in here that completely destroy the album for me. Weakest album by MGMT, 5/10.
I feel Congratulations struck a good balance between the "weird" and the "accessible". This one skewed too far into the weird end of things and I just couldnt get into it
A group with an imagination that's willing to take some musical chances. How refreshing!

Not really any bad tracks, but no legendary ones either.
