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 has a Bayesian average rating of 73.3/100, a mean average of 72.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.4.

[spoiler]A Different Kind of Tension? Unlike on their two first albums, this one lacks tension of virtually any kind.
There are, nevertheless, some outstanding tracks, of course. Track B3: "Hollow Inside" immediately springs to mind.[/spoiler]
Tracks 8 and 9 ???
Knowing more for their singles and that compilation, Buzzcocks had some decent albums, including this one. the first half is classic pop punk the second half more experimental. worthy for anyones collection
