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 5% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.1/100, a mean average of 75.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.5.

Fourth times a charm for Foals with their excellent breakthrough release ‘What Went Down’. Foals have forged one of the better discographies in recent times yet this album remains their best work which says plenty for the quality on offer here
Another top quality album from this awesome band. It continues on with the heavier sound of their previous release, Holy Fire, but still has some quieter more mellow tracks like its predecessors. My highlights are Snake Oil, Birch Tree and Night Swimmers. London Thunder, Give It All and Albatross are quite forgettable and drag the grade down but the rest of the tracks are excellent.
Definitely my least favorite Foals album. A lot of the songs on here are just completely forgettable which isn't the norm for them. Hopefully their next effort is not further along this path.
This is one of those albums, I really don't know much about despite listening to it. All I recall is that it is quite good. I think I better go and give this another listen.
Best Tracks: Mountain At My Gates, Birch Tree
The warm atmosphere is really lush. And just to add, the closing track is incredible

This is a really great album. The title track is the best starting to any album this year imo. Such a heavy start, but there are some real nice mellow tracks on here as well - a perfect balance. Foals keeps impressing
