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 73.9/100, a mean average of 72.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.6.

I really like this album especially Side 1, (tracks 1-5) the first 2 tracks on side 2 are also good but the final three tracks brings the album down to 80/100 . It is a better album than Manifesto but not as good as Avalon . The Same Old Scene, Oh Yeah and Over You are brilliant. (Edited)
Front heavy and a bit of a repetitive feel in a couple of songs by the back end but overall a great album. (Edited)
I can’t understand why Flesh+Blood is rated so low relative to other Roxy albums. It’s one great song after another. (Edited)

Impeccable, style and smoothness is so good and soothing. First-class pop, Ferry has always been so stylish, (Edited)
This album seems to get a lot of stick, personally I think it's a great album, better than Virginia Plain in my opinion. I love 'The Midnight Hour' and 'Flesh and Blood'. Excellent production, love the cover art, looks particularly striking on vinyl, which quite suitably is red, on the recent re-issue.
