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 4% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.4/100, a mean average of 75.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.2.

As has already been said there is a "Cure" feel about this album via Robert Smith on guitars/keyboards. It is however essentially a Banshee record although Smiths influence cannot be denied(Dazzle, Bring Me The Head.... & Blow The House Down). Other notable tracks are Take Me Back & We Hunger.
Features Robert Smith of The Cure on guitars throughout the entire album.

This was an album I was completely unfamiliar with (except of course for the cover of Dear Prudence which doesn't even appear on the original album) and of course I should have been in contact with it already because it's a good one. This is already proven by the dazzling Dazzle with its luscious classical orchestration and the also dazzling Blow The House down at the end. The rest of the album is not her best but still good Siouxsie stuff (helped of course by the additional help of Robert Smith).

My favorite album by the group. It starts off with the wonderous Dazzle and is a hypnotic trip throughout. Their cover of Dear Prudence is one of the best covers I've heard. It is a hidden gem of an album.
Another strong album from a criminally underrated artist. Like all great music it still sounds fresh today. Good stuff.
