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 mean average rating of 85.0/100. The trimmed mean (excluding outliers) is 85.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.3.

Such an important album when it came out. Influenced a generation of musicians then, and still a great listen today.

Timeless. Still sounds as futuristic today as it did in 1989. I've come to the conclusion it comes from that incredible rhythm section.

Excellent album. Every song is great. A big influence of indie rock and British rock music in the 90s. One of the few albums that sounds both of it's time yet also ahead of its time. Oasis wouldn't exist without this record

I think Peter Smith helped me understand why this is highly rated: The Singles... likely not the whole album as it's a bit "ok" if you ask me. Not great. Singles are pretty good though.

Amazing. And I've always said I don't like them, because of some 'jippie, jippie, ja ja - song'. This albums might hit my top-100 this year, 30yrs after it's release. Love this site, and to question myself...

Despite loving the singles at the time - took till about 2016 before I got round to getting this album. It has attitude and is THE album for that Madchester era
