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 59.3/100, a mean average of 58.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 58.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.7.

Either the best of "bad Weezer" or the worst of "good Weezer." Can't Knock the Hustle and High as a Kite are some of their best songs of this century, but some of the fillers tracks are just too cringey for me to really love this.

The reviews for this album have been mixed to say the least , ranging from proclaiming 'Weezer are back' to 'When will Weezer stop being disappointing?'. I'm some where in the middle with The Black Album but leaning more towards the negative

Let's start with the positive: closer "California Snow" is the clear stand out track and correctly released as the first single. Excellent way to close things out

From here things get murky
The funky "Can't Knock The Hustle" , the slow rocker "High As a Kite" and the disco beats of "Living In L.A" are all okay but no better good

Then we have the truly awful and I mean REALLY diabolical tracks: "Piece Of Cake" , "The Prince Who ..." could well be Weezers worst song which has the truly awful "Do Do Do" refrain and "Byzantine" sounds like it was recorded using a $20 Casio Keyboard"

The remaining tracks are average at best

Leaving 1 excellent track , 3 good tracks , 3 average tracks and 3 terrible tracks that stink

Weezer are far from back

A bizarre little album that I'd dare to even call quite good. I'm hearing people compare it to Make Believe, Raditude, and Pacific Daydream which is complete lunacy. Its not quite the album I expected (and I was highly anticipating), but it's one of the few times the band's experimentation hasn't left me cringing.

Some absolutely brilliant highs in a mostly bland and neutral album. Almost bad at some points, but be reassured, it's still better than Raditude or Pacific Daydream. In the end, 3 Weezy out of 5 (maybe a 2.5 in a future edit).

Best tracks: High As A Kite (best in years), Can't Knock The Hustle, I'm Just Being Honest
Worst tracks: Piece Of Cake, California Snow, Byzantine, Zombie Bastards

Pretty good record. I feel like they could've done more with some of the songs, but what we have isn't bad by any means. This album has plenty of variation in sound, and all the songs are catchy and fun. This is a solid mid-tier Weezer album and one that improves upon many of the issues that plagued Pacific Daydream.
