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 has a Bayesian average rating of 72.0/100, a mean average of 71.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.5.

Even though they were still very young, they'd progressed, broadened and matured quite noticeably. Well done to them. They'd expanded the tunes with more complex arrangements and bought in more instruments for a bigger sound. It's very melodic metal due to the vocals. It's a pretty good album. (Edited)

very underrated post grunge album and band

Only one very good song , the rest is poor
After 2 run of the mill 90's alternative grunge albums, Neon Ballroom follows with and attempt to branch out.
The album is uneven with melodic pop songs intermixed with rehashed grunge songs.
I prefer the direction Silverchair is heading on songs like Emotion Sickness, Steam WIll Rise, Miss You Love. These all point to the direction they are heading on the fantastic Diorama that comes next
They still aren't able to leave their roots with blah rockers like Spawn Again, Satin Sheets, and Dearest Helpless
This is 2nd best Silverchair with 4 or 5 keeper songs.
I really like the song 'anthem for the year 2000'.
