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 69.7/100, a mean average of 68.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 69.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.6.

Three playable tracks still in the 2020s. The Reflex' and 'New Moon on Monday' and #Union of the Snake".
Other tracks can be binned. (Edited)
This is a little underrated. The 3 hits ("Union of the Snake", "New Moon on Monday", "The Reflex") are pretty good, and the other three tracks on the first half are solid as well - not amazing or anything, but if they are playing in the background, I don't mind. "Tiger Tiger", however, is a weird half-finished instrumental that shouldn't be here. And "The Seventh Stranger" drones on for too long at over 5 minutes. But "Shadows On Your Side" is a hidden gem. I could do without the last two tracks, but everything else is dope.
Best track: "The Seventh Stranger"
Weakest track: "I Take The Dice"
This is far more than a synth pop album. In fact, I would go as far as to say that there are leanings towards progressive song structuring, particularly in 'The Seventh Stranger'. 'The Reflex' and 'New Moon on Monday' are personal favourites.
The Reflex is one of those rare songs that can make you dance and puke at the same time. It triggers the gag reflex. Isn't that bizarre?
