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 has a Bayesian average rating of 72.9/100, a mean average of 73.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 7.2.

Totally underrated pop album from the end of the wave era. Great songwriting with almost no "filler" tracks. And the recording quality is excellent.
Favorite tracks: "Darkest Hour", "Reeling" & "Sugar Box"
I used to own this on tape until some little shite burgled my car in a Yorkshire hotel car park many many years ago! I was so happy to come across an excellent condition vinyl in my local vinyl store recently. Brought back many happy memories (prior to losing my entire tape collection in one night!). For those of you who remember, tapes could be played in cars before CD's! Sweeping the nostalgia to one side, a great eighties synth pop/rock album. Like Silent Running, sits somewhere between U2 and Simple Minds.
