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 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.5/100, a mean average of 76.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.3.

Anyone who tells you they don't enjoy Fairy Tale of New York year-round is either a scrooge or a liar.
The album starts with 3 brilliant raucous Pogues classics before the gem of Fairytale.
Metropolis then throttles back before the next batch of brilliance and a couple of high quality medleys, Streets of Sorrow particularly forlorn and beautiful.
The attack and quality drop a notch for the final 4, although the Broad Majestic Shannon peddles a lovely reverie before the brutal truth of Worms.
So an album of 3 halves then. (Edited)
Another good album, and although, fairytale of new York, is a fantastic song, it shouldn't really be on this album. You don't want to be listening to Christmas songs in july. Overall, it's not as good, rum, sodomy, but probably the Pogues second best album.

This, for me, is the best Pogues album, just shading Rum, Sodomy and the Lash. The stand out track is Turkish Song of the Damned but very track has something going for it.
