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 9% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.2/100, a mean average of 74.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.4.

Some beautiful songs on here. Really underappreciated band. My highlights are Live in a Hiding Place, You Held the World in Your Arms and American English. The intro to Tell Me Ten Words is great too. A couple of weak tracks (I am what I am not, Out of Routine) but overall a really enjoyable album that gets into my top 100 comfortably. Looking forward to listening to their other albums next.

This is their best album IMO it is full of great songs. one of Scotlands best bands ever.
This album was their highest selling album. I first heard a little of it in 6th Form when teacher played it in her room on one of the days coming up to Christmas. We had been learning about 'Oh What A Lovely War' and 'Journey's End' at the time. I think I got album from HMV at 'The Fort' (sadly they closed that HMV down a few years ago now). Best song here is the first one. I remember watching brother and stepbrothers play Fifa 2003 a lot and this song was always on when starting up. Elsewhere there is 'American English' which is like 'The Bronze Medal' on the last album but so improved. They had completely embraced their softer side in this moment and no longer those guys who screamed about seeing shapes. They are a band who did so much while not steping into territory too far out there. It is all wonderful messy guitar music meeting with pop thing bands like Snow Patrol and Coldplay got. 'A Modern Way of Letting Go' still shows their past and Out of Routine and Tell Me Ten Words reach for the future. Amazing amazing amazing indeed. Plus '(I Am) What I Am Not'. Othello reference? I did Othello in English class mentioned at the top!
