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 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.2/100, a mean average of 76.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.9.

During most of my four years of college, I worked in a record store. (In truth, by that time we were selling mostly CDs and cassettes, though we did carry some vinyl.) This album, perhaps more than any other, got constant attention from us employees--it's just so immediately likeable, so filled with hooks, so bouncy. "There She Goes" is the song everyone knows, but I invite you to check out "Liberty Ship," as well.
Amazing album, once I listen to it, I listen to it for days, it's such a shame Lee Mavers won't release his other songs.
For people who don't know, he has around 30 songs that are known to us, so there are probably more...

very catchy and never boring. I love the way these guys keep up the pace. the jangly guitar and poppy melodies all seemed very original- like nothing else I've ever heard come out of the UK
This is an interesting and enjoyable album - hasn't quite landed as being great for me but rather a really good album. It has a real 60's sound with Van Morrison and the Kinks coming out for me. Even the production has that low-budget 60's sound - not in any bad way, it gives the album an authentic feel.
I like them when they go jangly. I wish it was more often on this album... Anyway, There She Goes is my favourite too, but it's unfair to call this a "one-track album". There's plenty of good stuff here.
