Rating metrics: Help 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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 78.8/100, a mean average of 77.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.9.

A fun album - a bit too long and that last track really drags on too much which is a shame. But some of the other longer tracks are among the strongest on the album. I prefer this one to The Suburbs, it's a bit more poppy than their previous work. The title track is the highlight, and it's a great way to start. I also liked We Exist and Hey Orpheus. As I said, that 11 minute closer really takes the shine off the album unfortunately.

Ambient rock joy that Arcade Fire do so well. Serene tranquility with some kick to it. All very good apart from an outro of 7 pointless minutes on the last track. (Edited)

I kind of miss the early Arcade Fire, But still I must admit this is a very good album.

A below average output from Arcade Fire is better than the best from nearly all other bands.

The music is strong, the themes of the record less so.
