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 16% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.3/100, a mean average of 75.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.2.

An album and band I already wanted to discover a long time, not in the least because of that peculiar band name. And it was worth it. There are a lot of resemblances to R.E.M. but that doesn't matter because they do have an own sound which sounds soundly sound. Especially the first tracks are very good.
I am still stunned that this album didn't change the landscape of popular rock in the mid eighties. It was so much more catchy and lycically important than REM; less self righteous than U2; and just plain better than what other trash was being heaped onto non-college airways.
