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 5% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.0/100, a mean average of 76.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.2.

"Express" is richly sonic in detail with songs that swirl while they mutate; each creates a mood unique and entertaining. Spiraling guitars reach dizzying heights with rock steady Drum and Bass throughout. This neo-psychedelic album offers an exceptional listening experience and is a completely consistent effort from beginning to end.

Love & Rockets is made up of all of the former members of Bauhaus except for lead singer Peter Murphy. Generally Daniel Ash took over vocals though David J sings at times. If anyone worried whether they'd still be creative, this album laid those worries to rest. Express is one of the best post punk albums of the decade with moments of raw punk edge (It Could Be Sunshine) shouldering up against angst psychedelica (Kundalini Express) and acoustic beauty (All In My Mind II). This would be in my Top 5 of 1986.
