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 75.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.6.

Ever wondered what 1940's France didn't sound like?

Impressive. Im not exactly head over heels yet, but i really do enjoy this record. Loving the old-timey vibe i get off of this record. Definitely Beirut's best work.
When Beirut first came out, I hated them (except Nantes, of course), but age has changed my mind. Quite beautiful stuff here.

I can't help but grow tired of the Eastern Europe fanfare feel after the first half. Shame though, guy sure can write a song, has a good voice, and a 00s classic in "Nantes". Good album, very good if you're more partial to the stylistic treatment than I am.
