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 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 83.0/100, a mean average of 81.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 83.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.8.

The music is pretty derivative of Joy Division, which is fine, but the vocals are so overbearing. I just can't. Hopefully their later stuff is more adventurous, because I can barely take this formulaic drivel for more than 40 minutes.

78/100
Es un notable debut, las letras son mucho más profundas de lo normal, pero noto un desbalance en la mezcla de sonido. Los buenos arreglos musicales quedan en ultimo plano ante una tediosa voz, de naturaleza egocéntrica.
amazing debut
Really good album.
Favorites: Reel Around The Fountain; You've Got Everything Now; This Charming Man; Still Ill; Hand In Glove; What Difference Does It Make?
90/100
Great debut, all songs are very good except 3 after "You've Got Everything Now", very chill album, with controversial theme
Overall: 9.1
Top Tracks: "Reel Around the Fountain", "This Charming Man", "Suffer Little Children"

Obra que marcou a década e influenciou o rock atual.
A great album through and through. The way the songs going from energetic to soft and solemn is seamless. Typical pop song structure is thrown out the window many times on the album making for more interesting listening and the lyrics are daring. I'm a big fan of the combination of the electric and acoustic guitars and, of course, Morrisey's delivery. Favorite songs: You've Got Everything Now, The Hand That Rocks the Cradle, This Charming Man, Hand in Glove
