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 71.9/100, a mean average of 70.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.9.

Too many boomers secretly hating in the ratings lol. Great records by a very good band. You could say it's a safe brand of melodic hardcore but regardless, the message is great and the music is enjoyable. My personal favorite Rise Against album.

Points for earnest lyrics and surprisingly driving rock. Not bad.

outstanding album. fast, in your face, melodic, hardcore punk. the lyrics are a major strong point of the album - a rallying cry for whoever will listen. in my opinion, this is rise against's best album to date.

"Brush past a myriad of scenes a homeless vet crashed on wall street, A single mom of three, a TV personality" gushes the lead singer on the opener. The bizarre imagery of 'Chamber The Cartridge' is all about the world ready to explode and collapse on itsown weight. So a typical Rise Against album. Album 4 precisely. By this point they know there stuff and this is as heavy and riff laden as the biggest pariah's of the stage. 'Bricks' is an example of the direction they could have gone, releasing one and a half minute songs which sound twice as long. The transitions are perfect as they plead for you to change the world with them. Band has a conscious too. 'Prayer Of The Refugee' is about the plight of refugees and forgotten ones to the sound of metallic anti-product. Who can't head bang to that? That's quite a compliment for them, this is a band who's main strength relies in the lyrics after all. Being able get these words across with great music easily makes this one of the best Rise Against if not the best. For something completely different how about 'The Approaching Curve', a spoken word narrative. A road lashed with wind and rain, conflict and stream of conscious confessions by the narrator. Pulled off with excellence! And that line with the female vocalist... that's magic moment for me! Love it! A band eons ahead of their contemporaries and at a peak. Ahh... and Roadside. You don't get them as good as that from this group no more.

Although it tends to get a bit repetitive, this is a great hard rockin' album.

The Approaching Curve is definitely worth a listen if you haven't heard of this band before.
