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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 79.9/100, a mean average of 81.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.4.

Saw them as the opening act on Lollapalooza '92 and picked up this album the very next day. Sounds very much like an actual album and not just a collection of singles/EP tracks. "De-Luxe", "Leaves Me Cold", and "Downer", all in a row, are a powerful trio.

even though this is a compilation of EPs made with different producers, along with some extra tracks, i think the collection holds together pretty well as an album. it gives an interesting view of the line Lush walked between the shoegazey side we would see on Spooky, and the more rock/britpop side that came out toward the end of their career.

Contains some of their best songs: De-Luxe, Sweetness and Light, Thoughtforms and Scarlet. Also excellent cover of ABBA's Hey, Hey Helen.
