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 12% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.6/100, a mean average of 74.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.9.

Honestly? Better than The Top, and nearly a real album. I almost skipped this, too, but this is well worth your time if you're a a fan of The Cure.

Best track: "The Lovecats"
Weakest track: "Speak My Language"
A good way to get hold of the 1983 singles and their B-Sides. In fact, it feels like a real album.
