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 5% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.1/100, a mean average of 76.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.1.

Very good album, from top to bottom.
Enigmatic, with raw energy, and astounding power. The sheer tenacity and tangiblness of the pain on When I Have Fears is phenomenal. Some its tracks, like For Everything, skulk across your speakers as though squaring up to fight you. Others, like the achingly painful On Twisted Ground, hurt like nothing else. The composure of the record, and the deftness with which it delivers its textured, raw darkness, is an outstanding achievement. Every single moment is utterly compelling. One of the most essential post-punk releases of the last few years.
A sort of Joy Division vibe but without the melody or rhythm to go with it
Anger, frustration, love, dislocation, suicide, death. These are just a few of the subjects dealt with by this relatively new band on their debut album.
The Murder Capital are Irish - this is important. James McGovern sings with an Irish accent and his thick brogue smears a softness and poeticism/romanticism that has been sorely missing lately.
And then there’s the music, more post-punk than punk, it’s an urgent and intense mix that veers from sky-scraping ferocity to emotionally naked intimacy.
Like Interpol and Bloc Party, they are one of those bands, they love Joy Division but this is no hastily cobbled-together facsimile. Joy Division are an obvious influence, a springboard from which to map their dreams and nightmares.
Get ready, The Murder Capital are slaying.
