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 11% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.7/100, a mean average of 75.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.9.

Bass heavy rhythms with groove. The vocals have a slightly slacker feel going about them. Their style reminded me of Fun Lovin' Criminals, but with an Alt rock flavor. They deserved to be more recognized as they're a good band with quite a unique sound

The more I listen to this album, the more consistent it gets. True to its name, Irresistible Bliss is chock-full of blissful textures and irresistible basslines. Lazybones is one of the best tracks the band ever wrote, and the upbeat Disseminated is an awesome head-bobber with an old-timey vibe. The two album closers are brilliant, as is the classic opener. This album is well produced, and the band's chemistry is unreal.
I just can't get over the atmosphere this album conjures. This is not only my favourite Soul Coughing release, but one of my favourite albums of all time.
Super Bon Bon and Disseminated are two of my favorite Soul Coughing tracks, but on the whole I just don't think it's as consistently good as Ruby Vroom.
Underrated, nice flow to it and a lot of fun. Favs; Super bon bon, Soft serve, Idiot Kings.
