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 25% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.4/100, a mean average of 73.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.7.

SOLID LP, consistent quality across the 9 songs, nothing exceptional but no duds either.
Was very excited when this was coming out as great QOTSA fan. Took a bit to grow on me as I found it one of the weaker albums in the QOTSA canon. But on saying that, it's still a really good album, way better than most put out by other bands and albums within the genre and era.

Innovative but familiar. Head like a haunted house is my favourite. Personally I think it's better than Like Clockwork

Holy crap this is good. Queens are the most consistent modern rock band.

Com mais ritmo e ainda com seus solos incríveis.

A great solid follow up from ...Like Clockwork and another great album from QUOTSA. While they are trying a little different style from ...Like Clockwork, and generally in my opinion has a lighter mood to it, which is a nice relief also from ...Like Clockwork.
A slow burner for me. I didn't find it quite as accessible as Like Clockwork and I was listening to several other albums, I really had to work hard to give it a spin. But I am enjoying it now and love the nods to the 70s influences.
Good but a bit overrated

A very solid record that doesn't necessarily shine in any regard or do anything exceptionally well. Drags on at times and failed to keep my attention toward the middle, however the individual gems found on the record carry it well.
