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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 79.4/100, a mean average of 79.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 80.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.4.

This album is part of my personal top 1000 you can check out on this site.
Siouxie and the Banshees have issued a lot of great albums like "Ju Ju" and some live albums like "Nocturne" but I think this album is the best representation of how good this band was.
For one reason or another I especially like the intros and outros of these songs like "Hong Kong Garden", "Love in A Void" and Spellbound".
