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 23% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.5/100, a mean average of 73.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 10.6.

Dec18. I found this a little boring TBH. I was expecting more. No individual song stood out, though 'Wait in the Car' went into my Checking Out list. I have a feeling this album will be a grower. Worth more listens. 2.5/5
This is album is just GREAT. Great. No other words. I love hearing this album song to song, as it reminds me of a great sound that hasn't been tapped for 25 years. Did I mention it sounds GREAT!! Best Kim has sounded!!

As a massive Pixies devote and a Throwing Muses fan I was always destined to love The Breeders and that exactly what happened
I was a fan when 'Pod' very 1st came out on record , yes RECORD which I cherish to this day , then 'Safari' and naturally 'Last Splash' . The Breeders have always been near and dear to my heart
Fast forward many years and I found 'Tile TK 'ok and didn't enjoy 'Mountain Battles ' at all which brings us to 'All Nerve ' and its good . Actually its better than good
The classic Breeders line up of the Deal sisters , Josephine Wiggs and Jim MacPherson along with Steve Albini back in the chair appears to have done the trick with that Breeders sound all there .
Being Australian I was super happy hearing Courtney Barnett on backing vocals , also Wiggs gets her 1st lead local on the track 'MetaGoth '
25 years since 'Last Splash ' was released The Breeders are back and I couldn't be happier
Satisfying
70/100

Something about rating albums that have just come out is hard for me. Maybe its as simple as I am now forced to make my own opinion because I font have a bunch of other people to tell me what I think. Maybe not. So, this is liable to change, but I quite enjoyed this album. Its no Last Splash, but then again, Last Splash was probably no Last Splash on first listen as well...
80/100
Best Album of 2018 so far! Kim has never sounded better and Josephine's Bass lines are amazing!
