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 69.1/100, a mean average of 68.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 68.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.4.

Very obviously influenced the Stone Roses. I really like this album. Ahead of its time

If you didn't know you'd never pick this as Primal Scream . Worth checking out if not for any other reason than to see how far Bobby G progressed with subsequent releases.

It's Primal Scream, but not as we know it. Surpisingly melodic debut, but I do prefer the later trippier, experimental, rockier Primal Scream. Nothing spectacular, but nothing awful either. I do like it, more than the self titled follow up.

Underrated jangly debut that paved the way for The Stone Roses and The Charlatans.
