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 69.1/100, a mean average of 68.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 68.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.9.

I've been following The Vaccines since their debut back in 2011 and became a fan. Simple, direct indie pop music. Catchy choruses and great melodies was their “signature” sound. They may sound like every possible band out there but they were great at their job. The first two albums run pretty much on the same formula, “English Grafitti” their third album, gets them betting on a different direction without completely leaving the roots. The first four songs deliver energy, interesting lyrics and powerful moments. I’m not too crazy for the rest of the album, “Give Me a Sign” is a stand out moment, but the rest just feels like an interesting attempt to change but without actually embracing it.
More pop and less indie rock compared to their first two albums, but still a good listen. My highlights are Handsome and Want You So Bad.
