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 16% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.2/100, a mean average of 73.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.6.

This could almost be a Greatest Hits release by one of the all-time most underrated bands, The Beautiful South. There are some oustanding tracks to keep you interested but the others will start to grown on you too with each re-listen.

Amazing album and I agree it is terribly underrated.

I love this album... it's like this pop album with the most cleverly offensive lyrics (Woman In The Wall)... bittersweet at its finest (one of my favorite qualities of music).

Solid album, nothing too spectacular but well worth a listen. Personally I think the best track is Woman in the Wall.
