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 67.3/100, a mean average of 67.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 67.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 23.3.

very influential and very hated by people, a good album overall

Linkin Park defined an era and a generation with this album.
I disagree with people who think this album is for the cringey teens who grew up listening to this. This is easily one of the most known nu metal works and one of the best. I’m not here to say it’s one of the greatest or my favorite albums ever, but I personally think this album should be ranked higher for its influence and legacy, Chester’s vocals easily still hold up 20+ years later

This comment is beneath your viewing threshold.
I absolutely detested this album growing up. This album was so overplayed, you could not go onto the internet without hearing it every five nanoseconds. I could never get used to Chester's vocals or the whole rap rock thing at the time.
I don't know what did it for me, but this album has really grown on me. Is it nostalgia? Is it myself who has changed? Is it the album?
Whatever the case, it doesn't matter. This album is really great and worth a listen or re-listen.
Favorite Songs: "One Step Closer", "In The End", "Pushing Me Away"
This album is rated way too low. Best album of all time in it's genre.
One of my guilty pleasures. Sure it's not the greatest music in the world, but for what it is it's very cohesive, well written, and performed.
The album was a gamechanger and definitely had it's influence on rock music.

Honestly surprised at how low this album is rated here. Fantastic debut.
Surprised how low this album is rated on this site (maybe general disdain for nu metal plays some part?). This album was a staple of my childhood and it still hasn't got old on me. Talk about a trailblazing album - nothing like this had ever been made before and as far as my ears can tell nothing has ever come close since. The highlights are Papercut and In The End.
