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 14% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.3/100, a mean average of 73.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.8.

Enjoyable catchy synth-pop. The Mother We Share, We Sink and Gun are my highlights. Enjoyed the slower closing track too, You Caught The Light. (Edited)

A classic, innovative, essential album...
...lasting three songs, and after that's done, we hear track four and the others I guess

Couple of tunes that I found appealing, but pretty forgettable overall.
