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 72.2/100, a mean average of 70.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.6.

I can't compliment this album, nor criticise it. To me it seems pretty middle of the road after the explosive stuff Jones did with The Clash.
This debut album is arguably their best, and it provided alt rock stations plenty of songs to play. That includes, of course, the excellent "The Bottom Line".
An album very much of it's time sonically, electronics and sound effects. Vocals aren't great but that's not really the point I suppose. E=mc2 is a great track, the rest are OK. Not bad, for an old fella like me it helps recall the 80's but probably not likely to set anyone elses pulse racing.

BAD II is better.
this album's great
