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 5% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.2/100, a mean average of 76.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.9.

Pure rock-n-roll and punk shit. Not hopeless, mostly hilarious. Not as good as the debut.

An album I chose particularly in remembrance of Syl Sylvian, one of those godfathers of punk. But their albums are always mixed bags with two real classics, It's Too Late and Human Beings, one good track, Chatterbox and a lot of clutter which is not best but doesn't rise above most other rock songs, only here they are delivered in a messier way.

A companion to the debut album it is not quite as good but has several fun tracks. Too bad this was it for the original lineup.

Under rated band and album, glam rock/punk in it's infancy.
