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 16% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.9/100, a mean average of 73.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.3.

HOT. DAMN!!!!
Ugh. I can't express just how excellent this album is, in a year filled with excellent albums. This stands, so triumphantly, among the strongest LPs of the year. 100% recommend. I mean, it pulls from everywhere, from soul, to post punk, to industrial, to whatever you want. This isn't changing the game, but damn does it give it some fresh blood.
The most exciting collection of new ideas in one place this year. I can’t think of any other artist or band that has mixed so many influences and made it clear exactly why they all came together. What I love even more than that is that they have such a consistent visual identity, and it’s obvious that they have a lot more to show and tell. I for one look forward to seeing and hearing it all.
Best track: Irony. Utility. Pretext. I don’t know how they did it, but this mixes Detroit techno, gospel, soul, punk and industrial all in one song.
This is really good. But I feel that in this debut, there are some qualities that are capping this album for me. The main issue for me is that I feel the singer slurs his vocals. Even though they are soulful. Also the grandness of the album weirdly enough feels a bit cheap.
