Rating metrics: Help 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 78.3/100, a mean average of 78.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.9.

Mix about two parts stadium-era Simple Minds with one part Big Chair-era Tears for Fears and you'll have a pretty good idea what to expect here. Singer and main songwriter Gustavo Cerati even sounds like the perfect cross between Jim Kerr and Roland Orzabal. It doesn't get much more '1986' than this. And I mean all of that in a good way. "Prófugos" and the title track are highlights, but the whole album is excellent. Fans of the above-mentioned bands will not be disappointed. (Edited)

My favorite Soda Stereo album. I think it is their most consistent. The reason is, every track on here is excellent! It contains hits like El Rito, Persiana Americana and Prófugos, but also darker songs like No Existes and Final Caja Negra, without counting the title track, Signos, which is a masterpiece!

Favorite tracks: El Rito, No Existes, Persiana Americana, Signos

Every song is amazing, great quality of music and words, maybe the best soda album with Nada personal, their new wave style on the eighties, one of the best rock albums in spanish, very recommendable

Not quite up to the standards of their 90s albums for me, but still worth a listen. Great guitar and vocals. Sin Sobresaltos is my pick. Also liked No Existes which sounds very Cure-esque.
