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 has a Bayesian average rating of 65.9/100, a mean average of 64.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 64.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 19.5.

100% synthpop. The group felt pressured to produce this album and thus all albums after took a turn towards industrial. Although some of my favorite songs are their industrial ones this is actually a pretty complete synthpop album whereas there were a number of one hit wonder synthpop acts back in the early 80s
A surprisingly competent New Wave/Synthpop release.
It's interesting certainly. Sounds nothing like their later work, which has a very Industrial approach. This is practically New Wave and Synthpop.
Sounds very happy!
