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 has a Bayesian average rating of 73.3/100, a mean average of 73.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.4.

The previous review said it perfect. This is a great guitar based rock album. Unfairly lumped in with the screamo bands, thrice has always been much more of a straight ahead rock band, with experimental leanings on later albums. This album isn’t there yet though, this is an in your face rock record. Kinda like a mix of early Metallica with nirvana, then throw in some melodic punk. I don’t know, give it a try, it’s a great album. A big influence on me as a youth.

This album is great, very much energy and a very original yet recognizable sound. They really took the best of Post-Hardcore, Melodic hardcore, Metalcore, Skate Punk and Emo into a great punchy package.

Probably my favorite Thrice album
