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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 78.6/100, a mean average of 77.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.8.

So many times I see abhorrent people on the news or other TV programs and 'I am a Poseur' just pops into my head. Love the sax on this album, Poly tried so hard not to be a dolly, but she so is.

This is pretty good. Better musicality than I expected. By the time I started to find the vocals a little grating, I was already into bonus tracks.

That initial appeal of this album was definitely not lost by the end, I can't find a weak track - let alone a favourite. All the way through each track is carried out with the ferocity as the last, if not in musicality then in lyricism or delivery. For its 45+ minute run time, I felt this achieved what its modern counterparts couldn't... assimilation. Now don't get me wrong, its just that if you compare the styling of Riot Grrrl to what the male punk equivalent was doing at the time, you might notice an intrinsic separation in the delivery. That's what - most likely - draws me to style. X-Ray Spex prove that they can doubtlessly do both and are worth of being a part of the pantheon of the punk movement of the time. With more renowned acts like Sex Pistols, Ramones & so on.
