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 has a Bayesian average rating of 66.1/100, a mean average of 64.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 65.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.4.

I'm writing this in 2026, nine years later than what was previously the most-recent comment, and frankly I've forgotten all about Oasis. I haven't listened to them in... at least nine years, probably longer. I didn't even know this record existed until yesterday. (It's listed in a book called "101 Albums You Should Die Before You Hear," otherwise I still wouldn't know.) And listening to it for the first time, without all that Oasis ego-trip personality baggage to consider, it's really not that bad for a post-90s Britrock/Beatlepop album. The songs are at least passable, the band is more than competent, and Liam Gallagher actually sounds pretty good on it, at least compared to the more recent Oasis material. I can see why people would have disagreed, and why they would have taken it as an insult at the time it was released, but in retrospect it could have been a lot worse. Liam could have tried to do a Country & Western/Americana album, for example. (Edited)

The worst comeback of the decade... Go away, Liam

I can't believe I thought at one point that this was ever decent to begin with. A bloated and faux-psychedelic side project that tries to recreate Revolver but fails spectacularly. The only bearable track here is The Morning Son, but you have to get through 12 other insufferable tracks to get to that one. I can't stand it anymore. (Edited)

I have to admit I really enjoyed this album from the first listen onwards. A great start to life after Oasis. Just bought their second BE and unfortunately they haven't had the same effect. Some great songs, Four Letter Word, The Roller are up there with some of the great Oasis songs and The Beat Goes On is a good slower one too.
