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 has a Bayesian average rating of 73.1/100, a mean average of 73.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.0.

The album is a lyrical masterpiece, with songs that dive deep into the human experience. Liam Ó Maonlaí's soulful and powerful vocals take center stage, drawing you in with their raw emotion and passion. His ability to convey the depth of human emotion through his singing is awe-inspiring. Hothouse Flowers seamlessly blend a variety of musical genres, from rock to folk to traditional Irish influences. Every note and every lyric feels genuine and heartfelt. You can sense the authenticity in the music, and it's this sincerity that makes the album truly remarkable.
Favourite tracks: 'One Tongue', 'Thing Of Beauty' and 'Isn't It Amazing'.
What an amazing album this is. Every track is worth while. 30 years later it still holds perfectly
every track on this album is quality,surely one of the most under rated bands of all times, a very talented band to see live too.
a true classic, haunting and passionate.
