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 4% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.6/100, a mean average of 76.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.5.

Nice length album. Short, up-tempo 90's New Wave/Punk tracks. No standouts (even though everyone will know 'Connection'), but it is full of high quality songs right through. Great from start to finish.

Hard rocking and fun album. It sounds that this band had fun in making this wax.

Some of the best Brit-pop and influential in the evolution of British music. Leader Justine Frischman seemed primed to become a major star - unfortunately that did not come to pass. "Stutter" is an all-time classic.

Still fun and fresh after all these years and one of a handful of Brit-pop albums that still stand up today over twenty years later. Good.

Perfect britpop/post-punk. It is known that Damon Albarn helped a bit on the songwriting (see in contrast the second LP with no proper tunes on it)
