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 78.6/100, a mean average of 77.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.9.

10 years since this album was released and not only am I feeling really old but I have a new found appreciation for how good this album actually is. A 10 year “grower” may be a new PB

good sound and a few good to really awesome songs, but largely inconsistent in quality of the songwriting.

A very cute and innocent pop album that provides a lot of fun and catchy tracks. The vocal is great and really suits the style of music and it really just lets you glide through the album just listening to her voice. Also, there is some very good catchy instrumentation at times such as on songs like Archie, Marry Me and Adult Diversion. However, the record can be criticised for being quite simplistic and there isn't really much to keep coming back to except for the catchiness of the songs. This is because there isn't much to explore below the surface level and not a lot changes from listen to listen. Overall, a very sweet album with a lot of great songs but I think I would listen to the songs on there own more than I would listen to the album.

OK, but nothing that hasn't been done better by others before - this sounds like a badly produced and badly performed version of The Darling Buds. Please Alvvays fans, check out the The Darling Buds. Or The Primitives.

Solid band, terrific singer, and a more than promising debut album.
The second one is rounder, and so I like it better. But this one got many great tunes: Adult Diversion, Archie Marry me, Ones Who Love You, Party Police, The Agency Group...
