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 14% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.3/100, a mean average of 74.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.8.

Bit of editing to slim down the running length of a few songs and this could've been a 90's classic. Unfortunately good songs are spoilt by going on too long (Edited)

This is such confusing time and confusing music may well suit it. Noticing the whole Tao aspect recently... well I read The Tao of Pooh recently which perfectly matches the album. I might come back with a listen today, tomorrow or next year and find it is not as deep as I first thought. I mean there are woodblocks and shotguns... no sex and drugs from what I remember although there is a track callled Serotonin which I suppose helps you sleep. Well worth a listen. (Edited)

wow is this underrated
The 1st Mansun album I ever bought, was disappointed with both the prequal and the sequal, but this is stunning and Tom Bakers voice on "Witness to A Murder", amazing track, great album, often overlooked, dismissed even at the time, a bit of a concept album and brilliant start to finish.
There was once a time when this would have topped my chart! Spectacular music!
