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 7% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.2/100, a mean average of 73.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.3.

A great debut that they never managed to surpass, or even come close to it. Infectious pop music combined with playful and full of personality lyrics.

Top 5 albums of 2005!
The first and still best album, and by a distance, from the Scissor sisters. It's full of great pop songs with the Elton John influence shining brightly on most tracks, especially, take your mama. Still not sure about the cover of, comfortably numb, though. Still, this is the ultimate party record.

Good glam rock/electroclash/nu-disco album. Best 10 songs average is 85,8/100 and the album can get good 85/100. Best songs are "Mary" and "Return to Oz" both 90/100, followed by "Laura", "Take your mama", "Comfortably numb" and "It can't come quickly enough" all 85/100. All other songs - these disco numbers in the middle - in the average region of 75-80/100.
Yeah, absolutely, magnificent album.
