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 25% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.4/100, a mean average of 72.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.5.

The music is witty, poppy and danceable. Hot chip bring their own style with these immediately-infectious tunes. i had a good inclination this new album would blow that one away upon hearing lead single "ready for the floor", which just builds with brilliance. "one pure thought" was my other top favorite of theirs with its false-slow-build and shuffling beat. Nice backing vocals. "shake a fist" is a powerful pissed off pop rant featuring grungy synths with a bridge that reminds me of 90s techno gem "two little boys" with some arcade FX to boot.

Good album, most songs are good and some have very nice twists, none of the songs are outright bad.

Danceable emotional pop. Very well crafted. Still I feel it's dated but it hit me at the time.
