Rating metrics: Help 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 16% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.0/100, a mean average of 73.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.9.

I dunno why this album doesn't have a higher average rating. It's great not a bad song on it. Does get weaker after track 8 and it's a bit too long though.

Favourite tracks: Cochise, Like A Stone, I Am The Highway

My thoughts while listening to this album:

I love the grunge influence brought to the new era.
Tom Morello does his thing. He wants to jam no matter who the singer is. One thing consistent in this album: it rocks.

After the first half, once you get past the singles, you get scared, entering new territory. My expectations of the second half of the album were below actual performance. Actually, I zoned out, not regretting a minute of any song. I thought, "oh boy, here we go, here comes the filler". But I couldn't hear any. Could you? To be honest, this whole album contains a consistent feel to it. One of deep introspection. With deep lyrical themes. This album is much deserving of the 802 spot! Much deserved. (Edited)

Wow that's the first time I think I've ever heard someone say an album suffers from Chris Cornell's "poor" vocals. Dude is possibly the greatest vocalist to ever live. I think the album suffers from the sameness of all the songs. I do love the overall sound, but they get a little too comfortable in a certain formula I think. Still a very good album.

The problem I have with Audioslave as a "Supergroup" is that they are a combination of two bands that each had one really good record and a couple other decent records. I don't see that formula adding up to greatness.
