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 68.9/100, a mean average of 68.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 68.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.9.

Really wish I could edit that old comment since I wholeheartedly regret putting Only A Few and The Last Dictator in the "bad" column. Both are excellent songs, and even better is the one preceding them, Ship Wrecked, which builds and builds into something truly great.
This album may have some problems with track order, but I'm liking it more and more each time I realize there's a new great song on it.
The Chinese Album still blows it away, though.
Awesome songs, but later, it becomes weird and unatractive.
What pearljammer said.
In The Meantime definitely the standout song but there are other songs worth a listen too.
This album contains many of Spacehog's "classic" songs, but there are so many bad 90's pop-rock songs that it becomes an unlistenable album.
The good:
In The Meantime
Starside
Candyman
The bad:
Only A Few
The Last Dictator
The ugly:
Spacehog
Space Is The Place
The hidden track
Check out The Chinese Album instead: almost every song on that one is near the quality of this album's best.
Spacehog did better with The Chinese album.
Love In The Meantime, but I gave this a few listens and couldn't really get into much else.
