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 77.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.8.

Punk spirit with dark atmosphere, like Joy Division but more energetic.
prog rock nice feel might need further listens

Classic album, every track is a winner. My second favourite Bunnymen album.

Fine. Not particularly memorable. (Edited)

Fantastic guitar works makes this one of my favorite post-punk efforts, and probably my favorite Bunnymen album. The best track only appears on the US edition, "Do It Clean"
