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 7% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.2/100, a mean average of 74.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.5.

“In contradiction to 2013 where there was not a lot I liked in the albums I hadn't listened to, there was something in nearly every album (part of the overall BEA top 2500) I hadn't listened to yet of 2014. I say nearly because here as well there was an album I didn't like at all: (nr 33 of 2014 and…”

It's a pretty album, but it's also depressingly predictable and consequently fairly dull. It's electronic music for people who don't much care for electronic music, more suited to quietly soundtracking dinner parties than it is to raves. Not majorly disappointing, nor bad by any means, but just pretty underwhelming by Snaith's usual standards. I wouldn't complain if somebody decided to put it on, but I certainly wouldn't choose to listen to it whilst other music still exists. This just stirs up nothing in me whatsoever. It's the musical equivalent of a plastic flower. (Edited)

You can always rely on Caribou putting together a pleasant album but sometimes the "pleasantness" gets a little samey. Thankfully Our Love doesn't suffer from that - even when two or three tracks in a row sound similar, he throws in something like Second Chance.

Best track: Second Chance. It's that wonky Boards of Canada sound mixed with post-R&B, with Jessy Lanza singing on top. Great stuff.

Another decent effort by snaith, however not quite up there with his Andorra, Swim or Daphni albums. Maybe this is slightly more accessible though, with lots of fun poppy moments throughout. Our love would definitely be a good starting point for newcomers to csribou!

This is one of the greatest caribou albums and by extension one of the greatest electronic records ever produced. This thing is so clean I don't know how you couldn't absolutely go crazy for these songs. (Edited)

Another great album by Caribou. More poppier than previous albums, but still manages to make an impact. "Our Love" and "Can't Do Without You" top song of the year.
