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 73.0/100, a mean average of 72.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.8.

I think people are spending too much time comparing it to their best album whatever that might be, instead of just listening. When you compare albums then you will miss out on loving it.
Now for the album, I love it all, maybe one or two tracks near the end not as much but there's plenty to love here I think.
Psyche is possibly my favourite song, the singers voice is top quality and good to see Massive Attack purely using instruments which they hadn't done before for an album.
They have a new album out this year apparently and looking forward to that as they are one of my very favourite artists. (Edited)
Not the best from Massive Attack, but a very good album (Edited)
Considering the long wait, this has to be major dissappointment. It sounds reduced and stripped down like a demo in some places, lacking the hip-hop-influence just as "100th Window". Far from the brilliant efforts of the past, it still has enough strong moments to make this a worthwhile release.
Very dull; "Pray For Rain" is worth listening to only because of Tunde Adebimpe".
I love Pray for Rain, Splitting the Atom,Saturday Come Slow, Atlas Air.
They need Mushroom and more dub and hip-hop tastes,beats.
I hope Mushroom would come back.
I can't wait the next album anymore !
