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 73.0/100, a mean average of 71.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.3.

Di gran lunga il mio album preferito dei Fall. Energico, apparentemente minimale, melodico di una melodia tutta sua, grezzo ma curato nei particolari: la solita ricetta dei Fall ma, a mio avviso, meglio riuscita che altrove. La voce strascicata del leader ( assoluto ) Marc E. Smith è una garanzia se non sempre di qualità almeno di insolenza...
An improvement on the previous album Shift Work but still very much part of that mid 90's lull which started to improve again with the Light User Syndrome, not long before the group was sacked or walked out.
Anyway, Code Selfish includes the excellent Free Range, which is still the only original Fall single to crack the Top 40, this album also includes the hidden gem of Time Enough At Last which is essential Fall and The Birmingham School Of Business School which is also a corker.
This is the spring without end
This is the summer of malcontent
This is the winter of your mind
Ah Free Range uh.
