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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 79.7/100, a mean average of 78.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 80.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.6.

I had always hated Nirvana for releasing Smells Like Teen Spirit at the same time that Copper Blue was and completely lost in the hype of grunge. In the wrong place at the wrong time. Yet it is an uber-album

As much as I enjoyed Hüsker Dü back in the eighties, I personally think Bob Mould made his best music after Hüsker Dü split. In my opinion, the wall of electric guitar that became Mould's trademark contribution to Hüsker Dü's sound reached its apex on Copper Blue, the first album Mould made with his first post-Hüsker Dü band Sugar. Here that sound channels the aggression of Mould's earlier work into something gorgeous and melodic, while at the same time maintaining the dark edge that had made Hüsker Dü so great. The addition of twelve-string acoustic guitar to round out the band's sound gives this album a clean, bright feel that transcends the murkier sounds Hüsker Dü made a decade earlier.

Hoover dam is an absolute gem of a song, perhaps his best output.

A powerful rock album from Bob Mould and co. Copper blue, is one the great rock albums from the early nineties. It's got great songs, with a strong emphasis on melody, but it also rocks as well. There are shades of the pixies on some tracks. Helpless, Hoover dam, and the catchy, if I can't change your mind, are all great. There's nothing weak here. A strong LP.
