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 81.8/100, a mean average of 80.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.6.

Ethereal yes, but in my deep mind this is not my music, Beautiful and nonsensical :)

A lot rawer than Heaven or Las Vegas.

This album is an underrated classic. I like how well her vocals match with the nonsensical lyrics. Also, in order to properly enjoy it, the music must be listened at nighttime on full volume.
Creates such a wonderful vibe and atmosphere whenever I listen to it. "Otterley" is amazing.

How is this not #1 for 84 or in top 5 for the 80's? Compared to their magnum opus, Treasure is more diffuse sonically. It feels like you are in a large room maybe a cave with crystals and there's more reverb on the vocals and some sound vocals sound close to the listener and some seem far away. Lots of echo on the drums to make it feel distant. Much more of a 3 dimensional ethereal space. More textbook ethereal than their other work although it strays occasionally, where Vegas to me is more shoegaze and borderlines on psychedelic dream pop.
But textures aside at the core it's the songwriting that is stellar. The composition of the music and the performances are amazing. The forward looking production and textural bliss doesn't hurt.
Crinimally underrated band and album.

Soaked in gallons of reverb and it's still great. Creates a very cool atmosphere

'Pandora' and 'Donimo' are unbelievable, a lot of these tracks fall just short of that label, and that's not an insult by any means. I'm glad I gave this one another chance. My issue on first listen was with the drum machine, particularly on 'Lorelei', but how can you deny the soul in every other performance? Now I call it the little drum machine that could.
