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 5% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.3/100, a mean average of 75.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.0.

I personally think this is Ratatat's strongest effort, so many immediately engaging songs on this album - if they could've kept the consistency throughout, it would be a perfect 10. Let's be perfectly clear: Kennedy friggin' SLAPS.

Favorite tracks: Kennedy, Lex, Wildcat, Loud Pipes

This is a wonderful album, currently ranked 11th on my all time chart. Ratatat has been putting out amazing stuff without much recognition for a while now. How this is ranked 55th out of 2006 albums is staggering. It shoulg be top 10 of the 2000's tops. You've probably heard 'loud pipes,' but so many of these other songs are so very good. Listen to this album and 'magnifique' for a very pleasent musical journey.

Really experimental, eclectic and interesting, this album is one of the best kept secrets of the last decade.
