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 6% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.9/100, a mean average of 75.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.0.

I think I will always have a problem with bands like these, the band plays very well. there are even great guitar solos, but the voice of the vocalist gives me creeps, Sorry, Is it on purpose or what but who great this band really is as it cannot be heard anywhere? The vocals drop 10 points from the score..
decent guitar and some writing horrific vocals awful

A very underrated band - this is a great album, very powerful songs with the classic single Another Girl Another Planet
The indie rolling stones. This is an extremely enjoyable album with, another girl,another planet, the pick of a bunch of fine songs. Underrated.
110th best album of 1978? A travesty. This is one of the greatest of all post-punk departures, beautifully crafted songs about the breakdown of love delivered with the decadent sneer of a man on the verge of a drug-induced collapse.

John Perry is no slouch on guitar. One of the better new wave albums out there

Language Problem.

Another Girl, Another Planet is a great song, but as John Cooper Clark says everything The Only Ones do is great.
