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 73.3/100, a mean average of 72.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.7.

It's sad to see this album so low. I think it's their best since Antics. (Edited)

Cet album s'écoute bien , mais s'oublie assez vite. Assez banal ,ne possède l'originalité des débuts d'Interpol

Well, it's easily notable they have grow up, we can't wait for the classicsl indie voices we can hear in "Bright Lights" or "Antics", but it is also memorable, acceptable, friendly in most of the ways and like as possible.
Interpol didn't make one of the year's totally bests but it is as good as possible with their way to play, that sadly is one of their works that doesn't sticks in your head
83/100
Best song: Tidal Wave
Worst song: My Blue Supreme

Great album and a huge improvement on their previous album. The first three tracks are a bomb, the rest of the album has a great flow with good moments like Tidal Wave (Edited)
