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 4% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.8/100, a mean average of 75.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.0.

One of my favourite albums of the first '90s
I like the rage and the strong emotionality that Greg Dully is able to convey.
Beautiful moments lived with this cd playing in the winter of '93, when I first met my wife...

Dime a dozen band. AS a whole, I Do not actively dislike anything here, did not grab my balls as it should have to make an impression. Perhaps I should take a short break from the 90's music and listen some blues
A couple of good songs, lyrics do not mean much to me as I do not understand English.

An underrated masterpiece. Afghan Whigs at their best. Marcy Mays of Scrawl guest on "my curse" makes my cry everytime.

In the rear view window, a seedy motel room, an empty pack of cigarettes, and the remnants of what once may have classified as love.

A seamless flow from song to song as Greg Dulli spills his guts with a cool sincerity. His honesty feels dangerous. His passion feels genuine.
