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 13% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.4/100, a mean average of 74.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.0.

Excellent gothic dark rock album. Best tracks are Vision Thing, You Don't See Me and More. The video of More is worth a watch, great inspiration to a workout on a treadmill!

Outstanding dark, gothic album with great riffs and wicked lyrics. I wouldn't have though Jim Steinman and Sisters of Mercy made for a good marriage, but the two Steinman-penned songs, More and When You Don't See Me, come across perfectly. The rest is also excellent, especially the title cut and Detonation Boulevard.

Fantastic album and especially Vision Thing is one of the songs with the most relentless moving forward rhythms I know
'More' is fantastic! The lyrics, the music, the everything!

Very good gothic rock/hard rock album. Best 10 songs average is 91,9/100 and the album can get very good 90/100. Best and full scoring song is "More". Followed by "Vision thing" 95/100 and next "Detonation boulevard", "Something fast", "Doctor jeep" and "I was wrong" all 90/100. The two other songs pretty good 85/100. Favourite!

This is my favorite Sisters of Mercy album, More is an all time classic.
It's okay. But not very representative of The Sisters Of Mercy, Floodland would be a better choice.
