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 is rated in the top 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.4/100, a mean average of 76.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.2.

A modern guitar-pop essential in my book. Chistopher's story is so moving. Tracks I can revisit endlessly.
Admittedly, they ask u to buy into a whole lot - I just happen to like what they're selling: A total reimagining of New York Dolls/JAMC (take your pick) who take 60s girl group sounds and drag 'em through the lo-fi gutter. You either fall in love & completely buy the lead singer's love-starved bedroom world or it sounds totally ridiculous.

I had a weird sensation while listening to this - each song reminded me of some other song. Unfortunately, each time I found myself wishing I was actually listening to that other song. Nothing terrible here, but it's not unique enough or interesting for me to love it. (Edited)
Kind of a left-field pop album. Brilliant in a simple way.
It's well put together but it's still missing something. The vocals are really good.

Christopher Owen's mother was part of a religious cult which endorsed female prostitution to convert those unfamiliar with the sect. This is not the etymology of missionary position but it is certainly a twisted backdrop for a very talented, and quirky individual to begin his life witnessing. The events that followed helped him solidify and address aspects of his identity that led him to debut with Album. Even while acknowledging weakness, Owens remains fairly positive: "it isn't right to sit around and think about the awful things that get you down". So he finds happiness in music and love interests. With similar names like Laura and Lauren Marie peppering his album, it seems he's chasing a certain aesthetic. The journey doesn't waiver despite his admission of chemical imbalance and loneliness. Love this album...
Unfortunately ... average. You can listen to but nothing more

Relistened to it today and I have been harsher than I should have. I don't find it good, but 'Lust For Life' is nice, and the rest is average, it sure doesn't deserve the beating I used to give it.
A masterpiece of an album. Track after track feels so honest and straight forward. The Australian bonus tracks, "Solitude" and "Life In San Francisco" make this album even greater.
