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 12% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.5/100, a mean average of 73.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.3.

First half is good, with some catchy hooks. Second half is less interesting.

Best track: "White China"
Weakest track: "One Small Day"
These guys could do little wrong for me, personally thought this was a strong and consistent set of songs, nothing would have been out of place on a more trendy record by Talk Talk, for eg. Great musicianship and not over produced. Helps it stand up thirty years later.
