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 79.5/100, a mean average of 77.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.1.

The first time I listened to this album, I hated it. I was very young, barely knew anything about music, and thought most of the songs were too long, too complex, and not immediate enough for me. I changed my mind after hearing Space Dementia and Citizen Erased live. What an incredible guitarist! What an incredible singer!

They sound nothing like Radiohead. And if you think this then you don’t really know much about Radiohead. They sound more like an amped-up Queen at times than they do Radiohead. What songs of theirs are similar?
Wow! What's this? Another album that sounds like the shitty version of Radiohead. I never would've expect that ;)

With all due respect, but Muse always sounds artificial , tryhard and annoying.

These guys really rocked at this point in their career. I love the reach of their ambition in this particular album in comparison to the previous album Showbiz.
Over the top but not too OTT (as they are prone to do). This is Muse getting it right
Best Muse record. Very emotional, raw and experimental. It is a shame they decided to abandon this style of work shortly after. This album is a rock masterpiece.

A good album, second half is a big drop-off though especially the last track. My favourites are Plug in Baby, New Born and Hyper Music. My 2nd favourite Muse album (so far), behind The Resistance.

I love the sound they discovered on this album. New Born and Plug in Baby have to be some of my favorite songs. And the neo space rock feeling on Bliss sounds so fresh.
