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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.8/100, a mean average of 77.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.3.

The sound of being a student for me.
Loved it on tape when it came out, loved it on CD when I started to be able to afford them and love it live whenever they play it.
Kennedy is just exceptional. Brassneck, Take Me and Bewitched are within a gnat's crotchet in terms of greatness and the only track I usually skip is What have I said now. (Edited)

Not one but two of my favorite songs ever: of course Brassneck but also Take Me! This album is suppose to break away a bit from the heavy strung and more towards a heavier guitar sound but Take Me! is the ultimate frantic strum fest and it goes on for more than 9 minutes and I wasn't bored for a second: what a song. And you know what: the whole album is fantastic.

I've been listening to this a bit lately. I picked this up on tape in about 1990 and only really used to play Kennedy and brassneck, probably putting them on a compilation tape. It's only taken 30 years to realise what a gem this is and that the whole album is just as good as those two aforementioned tracks. (Edited)
