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 is rated in the top 22% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.7/100, a mean average of 74.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 9.6.

This is truely a beautifull album. One of the best of 2020. The live performances can be really good too. New Order, Wire and Gang of Four did the same in the early eightees.

Post-punk mosh pit meets the euphoric Rave dancefloor. Records that take pride in comparative dreariness always hit the spot for me, and this is an ecstatic new take on those themes. It’s hard to understate how much I love both the post-punk and the Acid House influences this album draws from, and its succinctness in blending those two is sublime. The backdrop may be that of overcast skies and brutalist concrete, but the brush they paint with is strobe light green.

Less than seeking your empathy, Working Men’s Club takes the mundane on a mushrooms trip, injecting its personal experience into a rave-meets-punk super gig. Their debut’s greatest achievement is the mix between synth and guitar, which constantly hang in a ying-yang balance over which one will fulfill the band’s cacophonic prophecies. There’s a harshness they seem determined to express and celebrate in every track, and the way they wield their drum machines and synths delivers that perfectly.

Working Men’s Club crosses the social and economic divide of the north and south with the authenticity of its sound. It has no desire to dwell on any downsides of present reality, instead turning its world into a bold vision that flourishes on this record. Far from reinforcing geographical division in our country, Minksy-Sargeant and Co. reinvent both northern stereotypes and their own experiences into an innovative, expressive and personal sonic landmark.
