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 9% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.9/100, a mean average of 73.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.0.

not impressed. attempts at pop songs
This album surprised me. Great 80s sound

Not exactly a must-have 80s British album for me, but it has its appeal.
A brilliant and energetic record. Kilimanjaro, is yet another of those great British albums of the late seventies/early eighties. Some fine songs in, sleeping gas, treason, and, when I dream. The CD adds the Japanese mini-album version featuring the absolutely brilliant, reward, surely the teardrops greatest ever song. Still, sounds great today.

This was one of the first albums that I bought when I was a kid. Still holds up well today, a magnificent album!

Great debut that puts the psychotic into psychedelia (in a early 80s style of course).

I wanted to visit Liverpool so much... Teardrops, Bunnymen, Wah...
