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 11% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.8/100, a mean average of 73.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.5.

The atmospheric dreamy instrumentals are lovely if a bit MOR but I prefer the more hypnotic droning ones. The vocals let this down though. Amazing how much the vocals sound like the Stone Roses but suppose that's not a surprise given it's Manchester. Certainly a lovely sound though.

Full on 80s reverb guitar project. Gets a bit repetative after a while, but it's a good sound.

oops. first i didn't want to waste time and listen to another odd post-punk-record from manchester. not because that's bad music - but because it's not my kind of music. fortunately i have changed my mind and discovered something completely different:
an atmospheric, dreamy and relaxed album full of chill-out music for sunsets at beaches respectively for dentist waiting rooms.
worth listening.
