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 70.6/100, a mean average of 69.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.3.

Doesn't have as many classics on it as their previous album, Just Enough Education To Perform, but in my opinion it's the more complete album. No bad tracks on this, it just gets better with every listen. Can't get enough of Jones's voice. Best song on the album is Maybe Tomorrow, which is their second best song in my book, followed by I'm Alright and Since I Told You It's Over. Highly recommended.
If you've ever been in relationship with a girl who is just nuts and you need to get out of there, this is the ultimate song.
Long way off their best but it has the fabulous Rainbows and Pots of Gold to lift it out of the ordinary a bit.

A little forgetable, but their cover of Madame Helga is top notch.
I' can't lie... the biggest reason to get this one is 'Maybe Tomorrow'. If you don't like that one then I would question buying a mid life Streophonics album. Trust me, the band does become a little more quality in a few years.
