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 4% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.7/100, a mean average of 76.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.2.

very reminiscent of jesus and mary chain

A perfectly crafted combination of classic shoegaze sound and the typical 00s wave of indie sound while still sounding so unique. Stay Alive and Gentle Sons are some of the best songs I've heard.

Un groupe indie intéressant avec en particulier le bel album Belong .

Good ride!

Sort of channeling late-80s British alt-rock, falling somewhere between The Jesus and Mary Chain and The Stone Roses. Good, in a jangly guitar sort of way.
Great shoegaze album
Very good debut.
I really like this album - it reminds me so much of all the things I like best about early My Bloody Valentine. Music to make me smile :)

Could be straight out of a mid-80s John Hughes soundtrack if it weren't so fuzzy. If you don't need to hear lyrics it's good listening.
