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 72.2/100, a mean average of 72.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.8.

Often referred to as a "coldwave" band because their lead singer and guitarist, Philippe Planchon, sounded like he was about to fall asleep on many of their recordings, this French group actually had some really good songs and a cool (not necessarily "cold") post-punk/wave sound. And to be fair, they did occasionally get a little "droney," which I had thought was highly frowned upon in France... Anyway, this is almost certainly the best of their three albums. A list of similar bands would probably include Sad Lovers and Giants, the Lucy Show, early New Order, Felt, maybe Xymox or even the Comsat Angels. But really, who would make such a list, other than me, just now? Nobody, that's who.

I don't know who recommended this to me, or why. It's not bad, but it isn't really my thing. Also I think the original record only had the first eight tracks on it.

Such a great album
