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 12% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.5/100, a mean average of 73.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.5.

Stacked with great tracks. Almost no filler. A massive career highlight. No other album they've made comes anywhere close to the caliber of this. The only album from them worth having.

Always liked this album from beginning to end. It’s too bad this group couldn’t keep it together because I believe they had the ability to write and record more interesting material.
Outstanding album that gets overlooked. Very deep with great songs such as Dam at Otter Creek, Pillar of Davidson, and White, Discussion in addition to the more well-known hits.
Very good. Quite neglected when people talk about 90´s rock. BTW Pillar of Davisdson is a 100/100 song.
There is a lot to enjoy on this record and a lot for you to explore as well. The vocal is one of the strongest points for me. On every single track it is phenomenal and sounds so unique. There are also so many classic and outstanding rock performances on here that culminate in 7 or 8 brilliant cuts on the record. However, the album does have filler and could do with cutting down as 60 minutes is far too long. Also, a lot of the songs can sound quite similar and by the end you are craving something different. Overall, a great record that is held back by the few weak tracks it has.

Safe and boring in a time when music was exciting. Get in the bin.
TerryTezza 06/19/2019 05:03 | #237828
A powerful album with great epic songs like the into of The Dam At Otter Creek to my fav track White, Discussion, along with all the hits. A brilliant piece of work.
