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 69.6/100, a mean average of 68.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 68.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 21.7.

I've read that a lot of people don't like dealer as much as the Albatross, because the songs aren't as "emotional" or "explosive". I would rather say it feels like a different phase of emotion. A more "ripened" phase (not sure if this is clear), lets say "the calm after the storm". I like it just as much as The albatross, maybe even more. If you didn't like it the first time, listen to it again, play it loud and from the beginning until the end.
Donde The Albatross ponía algo de esfuerzo en hacer canciones propiamente dichas, Dealer pone esfuerzo (y bastante poco, a decir verdad) en crear atmósferas. Da la impresión que la estrategia no salió muy bien, porque la música resultante es tan genérica que podrías confundirla por la de cualquier banda de post-rock de los últimos 10 años.

Well outside of not being shoegaze or even close to it and generally not being received quite as warmly as The Albatross, I guess I'd agree with MUSICSNOB.
So yeah it's not quite as good as The Albatross, or perhaps more just fairly different, but it's still very very good. Not as intimate but perhaps more musically impressive post-rock with some emo influences, but this has perhaps moved away from the emo sound of the debut. Lyrically still gorgeous and the instrumentals are much more fleshed out now

REALLY GOOD SHOEGAZE. NO, LIKE, REALLY GOOD SHOEGAZE. First two songs put me in a zone. Instrumentation is off. the. charts. His voice is gorgeous and wonderful. Go listen if you haven't already.
P.S. Thank God its not another 'The Albatross' because we certainly could do without having to relive that travesty over again.
