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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 78.5/100, a mean average of 77.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.3.

It isn´t that often that I like a release as much as this one, on a first listen. This is top quality music and a release that should not go unnoticed, particularly if the name of the artist does not immediately ring bells of recognition.
I have `previously heard, and liked, their EPs and singles. Belonging to a genre that is already awash with, often unacknowledged, great talent, The Radio Dept. are seriously good.

Brilhante, mas sombrio!
Love this album. Front to back. Beautiful!
Dreamy, dense and melodic.

A fantastic album. Great songs. I love the dreamy vibe

Such a brilliant and beautiful album - perhaps even best of the century
Beautiful dreamy pop to float away on.
What a nice journey. It definitely has an identifiable shoegaze, indie dream pop sound, but it really doesn't remind me of anyone in their field too much. I wouldn't go so far as to say it's highly innovative, but it's in its own special place. Great album.
Scandinavian swirly dreamy fuzzy shoegaze at its very best...

One the very first bands to herald the shoegazing revival (now in it's 8th year). Lesser Matters is a brilliant album chock full of indie-pop gems.
