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 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.8/100, a mean average of 76.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.4.

This album could be considered the the origin of the "dream pop" genre.
I must also add that Ellie Greenwich sings back up vocals on Dreaming and Atomic. That, in itself, makes this album amazing. (Edited)
The pinup girl of my teenage years. Luckily, as well as being good to look at, she fronted a great group. Sometimes accused of betraying their New York punk roots, they created brilliant pop songs. This album has 'Atomic', 'Dreaming' and 'Union City Blue' on it, as well as lesser known gems like 'Slow motion'.
This album is great!! I could do without Sound Asleep I think... It doesn't fit with he rest of the song (all very strong in my opinion). Huge hooks, great song writing,great drumming, pure pop bliss. And it was one of the first, or the first? visual album, which makes it even more cool! (Edited)
Parallel lines was always going to be hard to follow but she's done a fine job with this. Majority of tracks are in the same caliber. Apart from the hits, 'Accidents never Happen', 'Union City Blue', 'Living in the Real World' and the title track could grace a best of album. A few in the filler category but overall, solid effort (Edited)
