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 22% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.9/100, a mean average of 73.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.9.

Not their best, but not their weakest (I wasn't a huge fan of 2021s 'For The First Time'). The new line-up may require some time but there are some great tracks on here. Much softer but still very good.

Kinda miss the rawness of their first two album, but as skillful and surprising as ever.
Heard this in my local record shop the other day. A real disappointment. It just meanders and there are no strong songs on here. Won’t be purchasing
Wood's departure should have sparked a Joy Division-esque reaction from the band.
How far they have fallen :/
