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 72.6/100, a mean average of 72.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.1.

I'm going to break the trend and say that this actually is my favorite Metric album. Wish they stuck with this sound.
My third favorite -- Old World Underground and Fantasies are leagues better. This has some really strong moments, though. Worth a listen if you like Emily Haines and Metric.

Not my favorite album of theirs, but the song Grow Up And Blow Away may be my favorite Metric song. Has such an amazing feel to it.

Not at all bad but not the best Metric album and not indicative of where they went musically. This is the first recorded Metric album. It was recorded in 2001 but not released until 2007. The best Metric album in my opinion is Fantasies recorded in 2009. I think that if you like Yeah Yeah Yeahs and/or Camera Obscura you will like Metric Fantasies.
