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 25% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.6/100, a mean average of 73.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.3.

An essence of Punk runs through the veins of Life's A Riot, which may only be 15 minutes long, but manages to be one of the most well packaged and listenable EPs ever made.
Simple at heart, but with excellent lyrics and the distinctive, echoey sound of Bragg's rough guitar, it's a perfect late night cooking companion, or the perfect accompaniment to a quiet Saturday night in.
One of the most essential and charming albums ever made.

Early gem. May be Bragg's best.
