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 69.7/100, a mean average of 68.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 68.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.0.

I enjoyed this album and played it a few times, but the self importance of it turned me off in the end. Fragrant World was more low key and the songs just sat there like.. love us or hate us we don't care.
With this one, it tries to be a bit grandiose and comes off as a parody? Still though, I adore "I Am Chemistry" "Dead Sea Scrolls" "Divine Simulacrum" and this may possibly be in my top 100 albums ever. It's just not as carefree as their first three albums.
I'm being a bit hard on it because.. Yeasayer have tons of talent and could have done a bit better. As a standalone album though; it gets an 80/100 from me.
