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 76.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.3.

The songs may not be great, but this is some Layla/Marquee Moon-level guitar. A relentless attack

Dinosaur Jr's third life after a ten year hiatus and Lou Barlow is back. When I first listened to this album it completely blew me away and this is still the case now. This is already clear in the first second of the first track, Almost Ready, which starts in a very electric way.
This album reminds me a bit of Where You Been, their best of their second period but this one is so much better, something I wouldn't have imagined 20 years ago. I'm a big fan of Lou Barlow but in general his contributions get a bit snowed under under the Dinosaur Jr umbrella, but here Back To Your Heart is one of the many highlights. This the best album of the band and to me a real classic.

Their best since Green Mind. They finally captured that energy that encapsulated You're Living All Over Me and Bug after an odd series of distractions in the mid 90s.
another good 00's album from Jr. after their slump in the 90's.
I don't typically love garage rock, but Dinosaur, Jr. has landed something really fun and energetic here, a grand, chugging album that doesn't let up until the very end.
