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 artists can have several thousand ratings)

Very underrated band with super solid albums, especially The Seeds of Love and Songs from the big chair
Songs from the big chair. One of the must own albums of the mid '80's

Very underated band, especially the two albums they made in the 90's which are awesome (Elemantal, Raoul & Kings of Spain). To me TFF were just as good - if not better - than any other great 80's bands like U2 or Depeche Mode.
Excellent New Wave/Synthpop duo and underrated as well

Underrated 80s pop masters.
Nice solid catalog overall
debut album is very special to me, 2nd and 3rd albums are still good but not close to The Hurting
