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 8% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.3/100, a mean average of 74.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.1.

I've been looking for a Black Keys album that worked for me. I am pretty sure this is the one. It's got the rawness of the earlier albums but with better production

Solid album, however I think each record of theirs has improved each time upto and including 'El camino'

Might be better than Brothers - it's certainly more consistent.

This is probably my favorite Keys album. Some of their absolute best songs are here, with I Got Mine still being the bands live closer. Danger Mouse did a good job on this album, creating a completely different atmosphere while retaining the bands bluesy sound.

Despite having many albums before this, with the help of Danger Mouse, I think this marks the Black Keys move in to the mainstream and stardom recognition they have today.
