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 77.0/100, a mean average of 76.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.1/100. 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... (Edited)

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 (Edited)

Last track “Che” is the best from this album.

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