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 78.0/100, a mean average of 77.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.3.

Great album by a great european band.
Although some of the sounds are typical from that time, the songs are beautifully crafted.
The theme song, Instant Street and Everybody's Weird are musical achievements!
Even belgium bands can make good albums.
The first three dEUS albums are relly strong.
Good, alt. with some experimentation
Feels a bit paranoid sounding. Like people creeping around and halls where things are going on behind the scenes. People lying. The singer is feeling it. All wrapped in a rock platter with a side of love dish.

Very consistent album. A favorite's from my youth. It's still weird to know that they're belgians and just have european success.

This is truly a great album with surprising songs. I remember I heard the song Instant Street for the first time, I loved it immediately and I love it still. Even the last song is mesmerizing.
