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 78.8/100, a mean average of 77.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.7.

Alright compilation. 'Standing on the Beach' is a better one in my opinion

It's okay, but leans towards their more mainstream works too frequently. Completely ignores Faith and Pornography, which in my opinion are their best two albums (they are however, incredibly un-commercial).

I quite liked the early albums from The Cure, but somehow lost interest in them along the way. Now I thought it could be interesting have a collection of the hits from their long career.

Though many of the hits from after "Seventeen Seconds" are quite nice, only few are more than just that.

For me the stand-outs on this collection are the early songs "Boys Don't Cry" and "A Forest" along with later hits such as "Friday I'm in Love" and "Cut Here", which reminds me a lot of Jarvis Cocker and Pulp.

The bonus CD of re-recordings perhaps does not add very much to the Cure history. The arrangements are very simple and not very varied. Still interesting to hear these newer versions, which reveal which songs are really good and which are less significant.

Though nice enough, this collection has not changed my impression that The Cure were best on their first couple of albums.
