Rating metrics: Help 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 76.0/100, a mean average of 75.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.3.

Ive been a huge admirer of these guys since this excellent debut was first released coming up on 6 years post. From the get go it was clear there was genuine talent and substance behind the sound they were creating ,even if it was some what derivative. But here’s the thing, they don’t care where their sound comes from, it fact they proudly wear their influences like a badge of honour. Hell they are even called NOTHING BUT THIEVES (get it ? LOL). The obvious touch point is Jeff Buckley (tick), with bits a pieces of the Pixies (tick), 70’s FM Rock (tick) and Grunge sprinkled into the mix

The “official” album runs for 12 tracks ending at “Tempt You (Evocatio)” but the “deluxe” edition includes 4 additional tracks that could have and should have been included on the album proper including the excellent “Neon Brother” which remains NBT’s best track

A great debut album, my favorite from them. Sounds perfect with nice small details. They started with this harder album and their next albums became softer and softer.

Great debut album. Excited to hear more from these guys. I hear bits of Muse and "The Bends" era Radiohead in a few of these songs.

This album is a Masterpiece. It seems I'm listening to Muse, and then suddenly it's Jeff Buckley. An incredible variety of styles in just one LP, this album should be among the 100 best ever records.
