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 76.2/100, a mean average of 75.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.3.

Fantastic album! Everything sounds better within the context of the album.
Really fun!

It is indeed their best album... it just makes you move. Really well designed from the beggining 'til the end.

Great record, pity they've yet to release anything as good as this.

I understand the creativity and the strength of the band. Sadly, I can't get past the caterwauling of the lead singer. Simply awful.
I truly love this album. My favourite post punk album. Best Tracks: Olio, Love is All and Echoes.
"Sadly, the rest of the album doesn't hold up to that standard... Killing is another good song on here though." You contradicted yourself in the space of one sentence!
Anyway on the album: One of the first of the great 00's Dance-punk revival, Rapture proved that screaming while shaking yo ass was okay. Many highlights on the album, Olio being mine simply because it grabs me every time.
