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 4% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.6/100, a mean average of 75.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.3.

Great album, one of the best debuts. Songs are great, production is great, Shirley is awesome, it's all here. Butch Vig is the king of the 90s.

Everything Butch Vig does is gold. I listened to this cd non stop when it came out, even though I was only 8. Luckily my dad had decent taste in music and bought it.
Just got this album in March 2018 and it is full of killer tunes. I recall loving the single Stupid Girl at the time along with Only When It Rains and Milk. But there is even more to this album with other highlights including Supervixen and Queer. Shirley Manson knows how to sneer and deliver

This album is great from start to finish with great music and attitude on questioning yourself, relationships and rebounding from mistakes. Tracks like Supervixen and Only Happy When It Rains are adrenaline magic along with the calmer tracks like Milk. To me this album is Garbage at their best!

Three producers, including Butch Vig (who produced Nevermind), and Shirley Manson (from Angelfish) proved to be a better combination than i'd've guessed. The album brings a load of FX fun with shirley's vixen vocals. Songs "queer" and "vow" still rock.
