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 8% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.1/100, a mean average of 74.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.5.

Not a lot of albums sound much like this. Very raw and aggressive. They had a message to send and sent it. Suite-Pee, Spiders, and Suggestions are some of my favorite SOAD songs. (Edited)
Shit hot debut. Where the building blocks were being laid to establish the sound and style that make them completely unique. I always seem to have a misconception with this album, thinking it's not as good as it is, due to all their other albums being greater. Even though it's the runt of the litter within their catalog, this is a fucking fantastic album (Edited)
Under-rated for sure. The riffs and guitar tone is way better here than on Toxicity, and Serj puts one hell of a performance.

Arguably the best SOAD album. Definitely their most raw, ambitious and powerfully put together album in their discography.
Really good album, and quite unique in the nu metal world. (Edited)
