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 has a Bayesian average rating of 72.7/100, a mean average of 71.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 19.7.

What can I say? In my humble opinion, "Diorama" is the single greatest album ever created. Music just doesn't get any better than this. "Diorama" is my unquestioned, undisputed and undefeated #1 album of All-Time. Fight me.

Sort of like if Elliott Smith made a Smashing Pumpkins album.

It's really cool.

I alaways thought System of a Down's album 'Toxicity' an awesome album but since I discovered this rock band after hearing the song 'The Greatest View' on Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2003, I've grown interested into liking this band.

The best Silverchair album and it isn't close.

Throw One Way Mule away and this is a 5 star ambitious album. Silverchair almost completely sheds the 90's grunge off their music creating a sprawling colorful pop/rock opera.

The whole things is clever and theatrical. A fantastic album and they reach a height here they never get to again

I could go on and on about how I love this album, it is definitely my favorite album of all time and many consider it a masterpiece. Daniel Johns is a genius...

@pearljammer13: I completely agree, but don´t forget the beautiful "After all these years".

Across The Night, The Greatest View, and Tuna In The Brine are 3 of the most incredible and ambitious songs ever written. Brilliant album.
