Rating metrics: Help 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 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 80.8/100, a mean average of 80.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.6.

A good greatest hits album and a good way to get to know the Foo Fighters and this album has been on the US Billboard 200 albums chart for a total of 282 weeks.

Pretty good compilation but I'd include "Generator", "Hey Johnny Park!", "Low", "I'll Stick Around" rather than "Breakout", "Skin and Bones", "Big Me". There are two new songs, "Wheels" and "Word Forward" which are both strong to excellent. This is a decent introduction to the Foos, but I find their studio albums all to be pretty solid, so I prefer just listening to them.

Wheels is one of the greatest songs this band has given to the world. The pain is over with that one. Everything is going to be okay one day.
