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 77.2/100, a mean average of 76.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.8.

It's good, but s/t has more vision and is better executed.

Es un muy buen álbum en su género!! No lo conocía hasta el día de hoy y lo he disfrutado mucho. Muy buen disco, con claras influencias post-punk dark, una mezcla de The cure, The Smiths, Sumo, Joy Division y David Bowie, absolutamente recomendado!

Barely in the top 500 of the 80s, 42nd in 1981 and not even top 2500+ all time?? This album is criminally underrated...

Rocks hard, frequently intense. Check out "Dumb Waiters" and "Into You Like a Train." Maybe their best original release.
