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 5% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.8/100, a mean average of 75.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.5.

This is a power pop adrenaline rush from start to finish! A terrific debut from Nick Lowe who would go on to become one the finest songwriters of the post punk/new wave era. A top fifty album for me. (Edited)

It's all right. Some really good songs here and there. Some forgettable stuff, but I dig it. (Edited)
Best Tracks: I Love the Sound of Breaking Glass, Tonight (Edited)
A brilliant album from an underrated songwriter. Jesus of cool, is up there with albums from Elvis Costello and Graham Parker from the same period. Featuring the hit, I love the sound of breaking glass, Jesus of cool, includes other excellent songs in, little Hitler,, so it goes, and, Marie Provost. A great new wave pop album. (Edited)
So It Goes is an amazing track! (Edited)
