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 18% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.8/100, a mean average of 72.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 21.2.

One of the most iconic and best albums of all time. Every song takes me straight back to that period and I have loved every song from day one to now. Defines a genre and an era for me. There is no weak song, even the hidden track is fun to listen to.
First CD I've got that is under the Emo genre. I was quite impressed. Lot more lively than I was expecting. Very consistent right through with no weak points or filler at all. Very happy with this.

This might be the best pop-punk record.

So good, fun, catchy without losing energy
A good album that discusses interesting topics and have some very catchy choruses. It is really consistent in style and song structure making it feel very compact and together. There are no real bad songs either and every song has something that can engage the listener. The vocal is a personal highlight on this album for me as well. The concept is brilliant and dark and is very interesting to explore. However, the album can be a little slow and by the end you do crave something different to the pop punk styling. Overall, a great album with some thoroughly enjoyable tracks.

This is one of those albums that’s so good, so defining it completely defines the artist forever to the point they can never escape its shadow and is forever beholden to its presence with any releases post simply pale imitations of the preceding master work. Green Day is a similar example with ‘American Idiot’. Hell MCR even released a live album in 2008 entitled ‘The Black Parade Is Dead’ - nice try boys but it didn’t work, unfortunately. MCR’s legacy has been set in stone
Simply put ‘WTTBP’ is and will always remain their best work. Better to have 1 masterpiece than a career built on mediocrity , am I right or am I am I right ?
One of the best albums of all time, literally flawless, no other MCR album even comes close
Easily the greatest pop punk album ever.
