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 79.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.0.

Pretty strong album from the legendary indie girl group from Edinburgh, Scotland. Strongly influenced by The Shangri-Las and Girls At Our Best! they had a unique sound, thanks to having two drummers, bridging the gap between post-punk and the later jangly twee bands. Sounds a bit like 'Just Like Honey'. After a series of singles that topped the independent charts ('All Day Long', 'All That Ever Mattered', and 'Somewhere In China', all of which are included) they signed to a major label for their first and only album, with another single 'I Don't Want To Be Friends With You' preceding. Aside from those tracks another highlight is the cover version of The Shangri-Las 'Train From Kansas City'.
