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 23% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.5/100, a mean average of 72.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.8.

Hounds of Love is a great track, far better than Kate Bush's original
"Robot" and "Hounds of Love" are standout tracks. The latter is a great Kate Bush cover. I was relatively pleased when I first listened to the album.
Like lots of indie albums of its time, it's super fun, but rather standard/forgettable.
Pretty decent
