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 5% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.0/100, a mean average of 75.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.2.

An excellent album. I have only got into Talk Talk recently. Bought this on new vinyl. 'Such a Shame', Tomorrow Started' and 'It's My Life' are my favourite tracks. I love the blend of subtle synth washes which accentuate the amazing voice of Mark Hollis. (Edited)
Boasted a trio of powerful art-pop songs in Such a Shame, It's My Life, and Renee. Marillion meets Peter Gabriel. Fantastic stuff - and a sign of great things to come. (Edited)

the most uninspired work from talk talk - is it due to or because of the two chart crashing killers on it?
Love that voice. Side A of the LP is great, the other side solid (Edited)
