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 75.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.7.

For some reason I have not given this one the amount of time that I have with most of the other Fall albums. Apart from Rebellious Jukebox and Frightened, nothing immediately stood out. I have since come to appreciate No Xmas For John Quays, Futures And Pasts, Music Scene and the title track, but it still seems like a poorer relative of Dragnet.

The brilliant debut from The Fall. No, it's not live, is just full of excellent and breathless songs from Mark E Smith and co. After all this time it's still one of the best Fall records and one of the best punk/rock LP's of the era along with records by Wire and the Pistols. Superb.

A lot of songs here sound like they aren't really finished.

I used to have a C90 cassette with this album on one side and Dragnet on the other. I taped it from a mate and was devastated when it got chewed up in a cheap tape recorder.
