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 71.4/100, a mean average of 70.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.6.

Surprisingly good! Drags on a bit at the end but that first set of tracks is really good! Organs hit the spot emotionally speaking as well.

Awesome Icelandic pop songs that'll take you straight to Iceland.

No es un mal disco pero su grave problema es que no innova en nada al anterior, lo que puede convertir la experiencia en algo repetitivo.
Favoritas: Crystals, Empire, Organs
Good album, a little less good than the previous, these songs don't remain in head like songs from My Head is an Animal
A precius collection of shiny pop songs, scandinavian style, shimmering choirs, and gorgeous atmopheres.

Ok,I'll open with the fact that as more and more singles were released for their sophomore I grew a little more uncertain, I absolutely adored their debut.Then during my first listen when I was most unsure on a rainy day, The songs Organs & Black Water hit me like a train. I love this album and it seems like OMAM have become Iceland's answer to Arcade Fire. This album is exponentially better live, cause I had the distinct chance at Splendour this year. Easily makes Top 10 for 2015!

Yeah it's formulaic as hell, but I love it regardless of that fact. Just feels quite good to listen to for me, it's like comfort food.

Oh... :'( I just cant believe theres no love for this album here. Ok, probably this is not the most inventive album of the year, but still works with a bunch of great songs.

Pretty much the same formula as their debut album. I dont know why I was expecting more from this band but this album won't get them anywhere.

I enjoyed their debut but it wasn't perfect and could have be better. This wasn't better but more the same and less exciting. A little disappointed but this still had some good songs notably Crystals & Empire.
