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 70.6/100, a mean average of 69.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.2.

So many great tunes, reminds me of my childhood when these guys sprung on the scene but I never listened to the full album until now. Hard to Beat and Living for the Weekend are my favourites, but really there are no weak tracks. Even the slower track Move on Now has a place on the album. well done lads!
Brilliant debut

Very good indie rock album. Best 5 songs average is 89/100 and so the album gets 90/100. I like this sound. Best songs are "Cash machine", "Tied up too tight", "Move on now" and "Better do better" all 90/100, followed by "Middle eastern holiday" and "Hard to beat" both 85/100.
Pretty good
Can't find a better example of an average album. The second half is much better than the first. There's a lot of fillers and it doesn't have a very consistent flow, but it's alright nonetheless.

You've heard this brand of britpop/indie rock, but there's something infectious and undeniable about how wonderful these songs are.
