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 78.2/100, a mean average of 77.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.1.

Well produced and performed and Lesley Woods has a great voice. Typical post-punk riffs over an often dub bassline. Gang of Four is the most obvious comparison. Lyrics are interesting especially the interplay with the backing vocalist. I think my favourite was 'Come Again' with it's realistic portrayal of sex and the political song 'Armagh' is powerful. But it's all great.
Sharply written post-punk album about sex and the role of gender.

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
