Rating metrics: Help 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 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.1/100, a mean average of 76.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 19.0.

I think this is what the Sex Pistols were trying to do. I get how influential this was, but it's not something I'm going to crack out and listen to on the regular. I wonder if this has fallen into the category of 'albums I say I like of listen to because I feel like I should'.

Could you image doing 'Girl' on karaoke night? Would love to see it...

I appear to be in a minority as I enjoyed this album up to Frankie
Maybe that songs a grower but it did nothing for me

Experimental masterpiece. Frankie Teardrop might be the scariest song ever recorded.

I found this mostly tedious. Like what I imagine the Velvet Underground would sound like if they weren't creative geniuses.

It will make you uncomfortable, but I think it's worth it, it's quite the experience.

Suicide's self-titled LP is a unique experience. Maybe there's other stuff like this out there that I'm not aware of, but I've never heard anything like this before. Not only is Suicide unique, it's really good too. The arrangements are sparse, yet impactful.
