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 7% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.7/100, a mean average of 75.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.0.

One of my favorite albums of all time. Perfect balance between the poppy bliss of Solar Sister or Love letter boxes and the more somber tracks such as Burn & Shine and How she lied by living. Definitely, a marvelous record.

This album gets a 78 on my rankings with the first three songs all scoring between 85 and 89. Definate door is also a very solid song. My favorite Poises album.

Perfect grunge sound: heavy but light(like the beating of egg whites on the cover). And nice pop songs.

I saw them in Madrid in 1993 (with Teenage Fanclub) presenting this album. FOTB contains some of the best pop gems of the last 30 years

This album is one of my top 100 albums and it contains a classic opening salvo of three killer tracks: "Dream All Day", "Solar Sister" and " Flavor of the Month" (with the classic chorus: "The flavor of the month is busy melting in my mouth, getting easier to swallow but harder to spit out").
