Rating metrics: Help 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 has a Bayesian average rating of 73.1/100, a mean average of 73.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.3.

Undoubtedly one of the most underrated post-punk albums going, with lyrics providing an insight into the working classes during the 1980's. The album holds energy and 'catchiness' similar to that of the Damned whilst its basslines provoke comparisons to those of The Cure.
Perhaps one downfall is many of the songs on No Rest For The Wicked sharing the same sound, a drawback applying more to the first half of the album. Whilst this leaves the listener uninterested on a few tracks, it simply makes the superior tracks stand out, particuarly No Rest
Strongest Songs: No Rest, Frightened, Young Gifted and Skint
Weakest Songs: No Greater Love, The Attack

I love this band's early stuff. This is along with Vengeance one of their two best albums. Title track No Rest is a storming anthem and one of my favourite all time tracks.
