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 78.8/100, a mean average of 77.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.5.

This is on my wishlist, so it's about time I actually listened to it. Looks promising. (Edited)

The album where The Jam found their identity and sound. A perfect mix of new wave/punk mixed with 60's Who & Kinks mod influences (Edited)

Great album, this band sounds like mix of The Clash, Talking Heads and Ramones. Something between punk rock and new wave.

Credit for it's vibrance. I recall this album at the time and was mildly interested - wasn't quite the spit of punk rock.
