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 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.8/100, a mean average of 76.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.9.

How It Feels to Be Something On starts off strong with Pillars and Roses In Water, but starts to drop in quality with Every Shining Time You Arrive. The title track is another high point, but the record continues to struggle maintain its focus.

This band... How can I have lived all this time without noticing them? My life is a little better now :). 9/10.
Great album! The second half is better
I don't think that this album is quite as good or emotional packed as Diary, but it's an absolute classic regardless. In terms of catchy melodies, the band hits their zenith here, probably the first album to listen to if you want to get acclimated with Sunny Day Real Estate.
