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 12% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.4/100, a mean average of 72.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.1.

The League's pop instincts become a bit more apparent with Travelogue displaying considerable progress from the (sometimes) dull experimentation of Reproduction. The expanded version is essential for the Gary Glitter cover of Rock and Roll Part 2.
I bought Travelogue by Human League on 25/12/1989 from on CD for £- The version I have is on the record label Virgin catalogue number CDV 2160 It entered the UK charts on 31/05/1980 and got to number 16 spending a total of 42 weeks on the chart.
The absolute best album of Human League. Take your mind off the pop of "Dare" and get ready for a strange, catchy sci-fi journey.
This is where electronic synth pop began for me. Being Boiled, when included on listings, is just exquisite music making, but there is plenty to match it here in Circus of Death, The Path of Least Resistance, and the terrific Empire State Human.
Very disappointing after the brilliance of Reproduction.
