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 87.2/100, a mean average of 86.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 87.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.3.

It took like more than 5 listens for me to rated this 100/100 fully. It's tight instrumentation, polyrhythmic groove beats, abstract lyrics, Eno production and worldbeat influence what made this album extraordinary.
This album is amazing!! It features some interesting and scary lyrics combined with groovy and head-bopping songs. The beginning starts off loud, while at the end, it ends off calm. Out of the whole album, i say The Great Curve is the best song here. It's such a catchy song...
Overall, I love this album! Give it a listen!
Take a look at this album! It is absolutely glorious, such a blast!
This is unironically great for an album being labelled "post-punk". It's way more hip and bombastic than the genre actually does. Maybe it's the half-new wave blood kicking in constantly on the brains of the members.
One of those classic albums that I definitely respect and admire, but can't say I really like.

This is some guud musik. I love this album
Perfect album. Super funky, great musicianship. Especially Born under punches, one of the best opening songs on any album.
best songs: Born under punches, Crosseyed and painless, once in a lifetime
Certainly the Head’s most ambitious album. However, the music as a whole doesn't do it for me. The rhythms aren't as funky or easy to dance to as the rhythms on there previous album, Fear Of Music, and the lyrical writing isn’t as meaningful as the songwriting on Speaking in Tongues. Overall, I don’t see why people fawn over it.

2020-11-01 This is the revered Talking Heads album in my circles, but a noticeable drop in quality on side B keeps it from being my favorite. 85/100
First half is very good. Last 4 songs are not.
