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 11% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.8/100, a mean average of 74.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.0.

Great psych-art-rock album, quite varied yet highly creative and original throughout. Amazing guitar work on "Safesurfer" particularly but really across the entire album. Worth hearing more than once, it's a grower.
One of the most underrated and overlooked albums of the nineties. Loads of great stuff here, the most well known probably being, beautiful love. Peggy suicide, is Possibly the best thing Julian Cope has ever done.
"Safesurfer" may be the greatest anti-AIDS song ever written. And "Hanging Out..." is spectacular. Check the Lenny Bruce samples on "Soldier Blue." Spectacular.

Good to see that this is regarded as his best album on here. Due to it's length of course there are a few fillers but among these are some really great tracks such as Leperskin, Safesurfer and Las Vegas Basement
This is a fantastic album and I urge anybody that has not listened to it yet to give it a spin.
