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 22% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.8/100, a mean average of 72.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.9.

Never heard this album before. Typical 80's genre mix (new age, soul, and disco) No bangers, just music.

New Wave was never the most coherent of genres and this release only marginally fits into that categorisation. The loose guitars, not-so-subtle synths and pounding drums, alongside Matt Johnson’s soulful vocals, make for a wonderful listen, however. Worth your time.
Rating: Very Good
Best track: Twilight Of A Champion
Original songs and cutting politics, heartland among their best. I have a great contempt organ alt mix.
Essential listening.
Favorite Tracks:Out Of The Blue, Sweet Bird Of Truth, Mercy Beat
Under rated album that should be in many top 100 lists
