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 has a Bayesian average rating of 72.9/100, a mean average of 72.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.3.

Wow! Damn! A masterfully executed elevation of punk rock to daring new heights without sacrificing the core philosophy of the genre. I don’t know how they pulled it off. The first few times I heard it, I just thought “what a great punk record,” but then I started to realize as I listened more carefully that this was way more than just another punk record.

I bought this album the day it was released on vinyl. If it had a bigger audience I'm sure the rating would be far higher.

just saw THE DAMNED AT THE SOLD OUT IRVING PLAZA,NYC SHOW FOR THEIR 35TH ANNIVERSARY TOUR...PLAYED THIS ALBUM AND DAMNED,DAMNED,DAMNED IN THEIR ENTIRETY !!!! PHENOMENAL...THEY STILL GOT IT-THE PROFICIENCY...I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS ALBUM...FUN,FUN,FUN
Wait... I don't actually remember listening to this one yet I have given it 8/10! New Rose is on it though and that is a good song.

Nobody's heard this masterpiece...but the chosen few are aware of it's sonic importance...the first 4 tracks are perhaps the best opening to any album...always underrated for their proficiency this set is remarkable...angry, smart,sarcastic lyrics....recklessly fun rockers...hans zimmer production...dark,haunting lyrical/musical scapes like "dr.jeckyll and mr. hyde" and the monolythic "curtain call"...Captain Sensible is my favorite guitar hero of all time...this band is great and this ambitious effort doesn't miss
