This is the debut album from Ireland’s An Emotional Fish, an unfortunately named and underappreciated band. The Fish were signed for this album to U2’s label and had some success with the singles “Grey Matter” and especially “Celebrate”, where they cracked the US college radio charts. The album sold poorly everywhere except for Ireland, and after 3 albums, they were to be found only in their native country.
Too bad. This album is loaded with great sounding songs, and a real gem: bass player Enda Wyatt. Wyatts playing is absolutely superb, and his bass lines carry each song. The band is instrumentally and vocally solid…but that bass is perfect. This is a lost should have been classic of the mid 90’s. Pick it up if you can find it. Bad name, fuzzy picture. Most likely has a hole in the artwork from being discounted. A fine album by a fine band. [First added to this chart: 04/13/2012]

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 charts can have several thousand ratings)
This chart is rated in the top 10% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 87.9/100, a mean average of 90.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 90.0/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 9.2.

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
