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 has a Bayesian average rating of 71.5/100, a mean average of 70.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.7.

This album sounds like a Franz Ferdinand best-of, with all the positives and negatives that come with it. Everything feels already heard and re-heard for the band — but at the same time, it sounds really good. The first four tracks are honestly among Franz Ferdinand’s best. (Edited)
The first six songs of the album are great. After that the album weakens. On a good day you should listen to the full album. On a lesser day only add Brief Encounters.

Cosa potrebbe ancora dire di nuovo o per lo meno di interessante un gruppo figlio del suo tempo come sono stati i Franz Ferdinand a quasi dieci anni dall'esordio ? Dando per scontata l'improbabilità di una svolta estrema, a rimescolare le stesse, poche, carte non si va da nessuna parte. E infatti… Comunque discreto.
Certainly, one of their best works until now
