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 72.0/100, a mean average of 70.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.4.

I wish I could write something as great as 'Burn Baby Burn'. Something sublime about that one. Album is 2nd after A-Z Vol. 1 for me.
This was a good return to form after the disappointing Nu-Clear Sounds album. Jam packed with memorable indie anthems such as Burn baby burn, Sometimes, Walking Barefoot, Nicole and Shining Light. Sadly a little too much filler and this would have been so much better as a 10 track album.
Walking Barefoot, Shining Light, Burn Baby Burn ==> the first three songs are the best songs ever written by Ash. Simple and great pop/rock songs. It is a pity that with all albums after this they never regained their former strength
Some of the album is generic, safe, boring rock/pop but there are a few great britpop anthems in there like Burn Baby Burn, Candy and Sometimes. It's well worth a listen because of those alone. (Edited)
Delightful collection of power pop, melodic and fast paced. There best for me. Sometimes captures a lost relationship perfectly
