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 79.1/100, a mean average of 78.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.0.

You can hear it on "If Looks Could Kill". This band not only evokes Belle and Sebastian but shows potential to surpass them. Yes, it's a lazy comparison but it's so obvious it's undeniable. "Lloyd, I'm Ready To Be Heartbroken" pays its own homage as a beautiful way to start off their brand of swelling strings and harmonies. Hear them fill your heart on "Come Back Margaret" and "Country Mile". Yes, it reminds me of Belle & Sebastian, but at the same time, they've stepped so far on their own with this album that such comparisons should stop, as easy as they are.

Tracyanne's voice starts to change from this album(from cute to more mature) I like earlier one. But songwriting is awesome on here. very possibly best of their albums. Maybe, they just grew up.

I liked it enough the first time around but even more the second. The vocals, and the the sound and lyrics, are different, and classy, enough to give the album a certain niche in the upper racks of above average Twee Pop. (Edited)
