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 7% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.2/100, a mean average of 74.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.4.

Seasons (waiting on you) is a fantastic opening track, he's certainly got some unique dance moves from what I've seen on letterman. Can't wait to listen to the rest of the album! (Edited)

An updated version of everything I loved about New Order.

Though not bad, there's something about this album that just... bothers me. With that in mind, there's plenty of personality, and plenty to really like. Definitely very a lot to revisit.

I think I'd really, really enjoy a live version of the album, but something about the album's production really bothers me. It's almost unfair to say really. The songwriting is solid.

This was my favorite album of 2014 and shows just how much Sam Herring and company has grown and mastered their craft over the last decade or so. "Spirit" and "Song for Our Grandfathers" are masterpieces in my opinion. Pitchfork's #1 song of the year, "Seasons.." is also a phenomenal track. Audacious, familial, and familiar-Singles is a truly magnificent album. (Edited)
