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 72.5/100, a mean average of 71.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.4.

A fantastic debut by a criminally underrated band. The songwriting is dynamic and hooky, and the lyrics are artful, swaggering, unapologetically poetic. Another commenter compared them to The Gaslight Anthem, and that's a valid comparison, but in my opinion The Airborne Toxic Event is the superior band, even catchier and more versatile. (And I say that as a New Jersey native!)

Reading some good things about this album I thought I’d check it out
(1) In terms of reference points think Gaslight Anthem or Smith Street Band only not as good
(2) The Good: track 7 SOMETIME AROUND MIDNIGHT is a clear standout and the best thing here by that far it isn’t funny
(3) The Bad: every other track, bad isn’t quite correct, a closer description would be ordinary
(4) The Ugly: track 9 MISSY just doesn’t work
Apart from Sometime Around Midnight which I’ve add to a best ever song playlist I won’t be returning. Go listen to Gaslight Anthem instead

Times when I like this and other times I feel it is empty one hit wonder stuff. Can't make up my mind on it, which I guess is a good thing.
Bland.
I like it. Even if you don't. I can dig it.

The most underrated album of all time. The ten songs are some of the most impassioned of any I've ever heard. Key Tracks: Wishing Well, Something New, and of course, Sometime Around Midnight

One of the best albums I've ever heard. Truly deep and interesting. There were moments I thought I was listening to a Smiths album, there were moments I thought I was listening to Blue October, and the product works incredibly.
