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 7% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.7/100, a mean average of 76.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.1.

My favourite Fall album. It's certainly one of their most accessible records but it's also one of the best. The new cd remaster is excellent and it makes the lp even more timeless, it sounds like it was released last week. Great album.
Tackling the huge Fall catalogue can be an intimidating prospect but 'Bend Sinister' is a great place to begin , IMHO its their best album . So many great tracks to enjoy: "Shoulder Pads 1 and 2" , the cover of "Mr Pharmacist" , "Bournmouth Runner" and "US 80's-90's" are personal favourites
This album is kinda commercial feeling on the one hand but weird and quirky on the other and just only just misses out on my all time top 100 albums
Mark E Smith at his absolute finest
In a similar vein to This Nations Saving Grace, Bend Sinister is probably their most commercial album, it is high on melody and has an indie-pop feeling to it.
Still plenty of lyrical gems can be found and things still venture off the beaten path as you would expect.
Included here is Mr Pharmacist which has been played live probably more than any other Fall track, but of course it isn't really a Fall track as it's a cover version.
DARK GROSS CHAPEL.
This is my favourite album by The Fall. For me, it contains their two best tracks ever U.S.80s-90s and Mr.Pharmacist. Top album!
