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 77.5/100, a mean average of 76.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.9.

Siouxsie is ultra-smart and talented, and you can't argue with success, but I always wanted her to have a better band. That up-the-neck Peter Hook-style bass of Steve Severin always sounds to me like a guitarist who's temping on bass but still wants to be up in the melody instead of down in the rhythm, and Budgie as a drummer is great I guess at that one thing he does. Not to compare styles or sounds, but Chrissie Hynde came out of that same Brit punk scene with a real band that could actually rock. No offense, like I say, she's fantastic, the songwriting is strong, and there's a lot of substance here, I just find their soundscape pale and limited. (Edited)
A roller coaster ride through sound. There are a few dark moments, but the journey is an uplifting one which will send shivers down your spine. Best thrills include the majestic opener Cascade, the intense and haunting Obsession and the jazzy straightjacket strut of Cocoon. This is the Banshees at their creative peak.
For me this album has 4 or 5 stand out tracks - that make it one of my favourite albums. These are Cascade, Melt!, Painted Bird, Slowdive & Cocoon.

This is very creative and cohesive release. My fav tracks are Cascade, Green Fingers and especially She’s A Carnival. They reach their peak on the next one.

This was my favourite Siouxsie until she did Feast. That remains in the top spot for me.
