Rating metrics: Help 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 has a Bayesian average rating of 71.1/100, a mean average of 69.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.1.

Even more of a mess than the 1st album but greatness was on its way after this failed experiment.

"Join hands" is definitely the most traditionally post-punk album in the Banshess discography. The themes of war and isolation make a strong showing but "the lords prayer" probably should have been cut.

Not as good as their debut The Scream but still a good album. It contains Playground Twist a great Banshees song also Premature Burial & Placebo Effect. The album could have been so much better if The Lord's Prayer had been edited leaving room for The Staircase Mystery to be included on the album.

Very underrated. Poppy Day and Playground Twist are amazing songs, and the entire album is one great song after another, I honestly don't understand why it's ignored so often.
