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 70.0/100, a mean average of 69.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 69.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.8.

A bit of a departure from their first two albums, The Back Room and An End Has A Start, to a more electronic sound. And it didn't really work for me. Although I do like Bricks And Mortar - great song.

On their third album, Editors shifts away from the the dark post-punk music they are primarily known for and takes a step towards new wave. The guitars are replaced by synthesizers, the irregular drum beats with the regular beating of a drum machine. While this means that the band effectively renews it sounds and offers a record of fresh-sounding songs, it also means that some of the charm surrounding their music is gone. Other than "Papillon" and "You Don't Know Love" there are no songs that stand out the way several songs did on the previous two albums. The first half delves deeply into new wave territory, while the second half is closer to post-punk. This half also suffers from overlong songs devoid of good hooks and memorable choruses, "Eat Raw Meat = Blood Drool" being the sole exception.
They ditched guitars for synths. The result? Their best album IMO.
It maybe not be as rock as their first two albums but there's still great interesting tunes here.

Le meilleur album de ce groupe a mon avis. Beaucoup de plaisir à l'écouter avec une intro excellente suivi du meilleur morceau de l'album...
