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 7% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.5/100, a mean average of 74.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.6.

A highly unique, infectiously well-played album of humorous and memorable tunes. 9/10!

That feeling when you're in quarantine and want something that you know will light you up and make you smile.
This album is never not fun. At a very boring desk job I had I listened to this a ton. I would imagine my desk a piano and couldn't not move to it, and somehow it made me more productive? Every song is a winner - Brick kinda body slams me emotionally and feels disruptive given the nature of most of the other tunes, but that's fine. Really such a good time.
Song for the Dumped? One Angry Dwarf? Selfless, Cold and Composed? Stone cold classics here. Recommended for anyone who likes fun and wants to have a good time in their ears.
I can't not sing along to most of these songs. Favorites are tracks 1, 2, 3, 6, & 10, but the rest are still decent.

Phenomenal piano playing, but just didn't strike a chord with me.

Great fun a joy to listen to. Picks me up every time I listen to it. He makes the piano rock. Song For The Dumped made me laugh out loud "Give Me Money Back You Bitch !" brilliant.
Great music, great lyrics, a lot of fun. And not a guitar in sight. Ben Folds best.

While all over the place, it feels somehow to move and flow naturally. Great album.

Easily Ben Folds' best. Packed with winners.
I love this album. It lacks polish, and the subject matter is mostly juvenile, but its high energy and has a great straight-ahead rock sound mixed with a jazz-influenced harmonic vocabulary.
