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 has a Bayesian average rating of 71.2/100, a mean average of 69.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 19.0.

I picked up guitar when I first heard In A Little While, and I haven't looked back since. I've always had a special place in my heart for this album for that reason, and I hope one day I can thank the Edge for changing my life.

I swear that every U2 albums sounds like it is a greatest hits. It is a testament to the amazing effort they put into all of their work.

It seems bizarre to me that this is rated higher than POP.
This is the album where they started playing it safe, and therefore became all the more dull for it. (Edited)
All you can't leave behind, is U2's most straightforward album to date. It's the most stripped back of their records after the dance experiments of the nineties. It's a strong record throughout, beautiful day, is a great opener, followed by the Michael Hutchence tribute, stuck in a moment you can't get out of. Other highlights are the excellent, walk on, the more intimate, kite, and, in a little while, and the moving, peace on earth. Wild honey, is a nice acoustic based track, and, new york, is a strong number. Grace, is okay, and, elevation, to me sounds like a song jammed out in the studio for live purposes, obviously influenced by Blur's, song 2. All in all, it's a solid album, but like most U2 records, the first half is always stronger than the second half. In a way, all you can't leave behind, was a comeback of sorts, a re-applying for the top job, as Bono said.

The accoustic version of Stuck In A Moment You Can't Get Out Of is FANTASTIC. It's also a great song live... but kind of falls flat on this record.
There are better versions of Elevation as well... which is probably my favorite track on the record. That middle 8 where it just cuts to vocal mostly is fantastic and then that super fast guitar Edge plays on his SG... amazing song. Tracks 5,6,7,10, and 11 are also unknown solid songs (and again sound better live).
Overall I think the songs on this record are great, but way too overproduced. U2 is a fantastic live band... why don't they capture that in the studio?
