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 4% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.6/100, a mean average of 75.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.6.

In what was a great year for debut album, the Psychedelic Furs took their influences and created something utterly original

The Psychedlic Furs were one one of the most significant pop bands of the new wave and this album is packed with winners. In popular conciousness they're John Hughes favs with "Pretty In Pink" and "Don't you Forget About Me", however this as well as several other albums sre well worth owning. The album above has a number of bonus tracks not available on the original so obviously can't vouch for their quality.

An underrated gem, almost always overshadowed by Talk talk talk, and their singles this albums brings a 80's beginning euphoria and still can conduce the charm during all the songs, not all focused in rock, you can still see some pop influences here, it still remembers me a little of Echo & The Bunnymen, maybe because of the sound but it's always a pleasant listening
