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 72.5/100, a mean average of 71.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.4.

Really fun pop album - Live Through This might be better from a technical standpoint but this one is a lot more enjoyable. You can totally tell Corgan wrote a lot of these songs, which for me at least is a good thing.

These guys once played on the shore of the Arctic Ocean with Metallica for a bunch of Inuit kids and Molson contest winners. Could you imagine? A hell of a show, I'm sure.
One of my favorite records of the 90s. Tough and melodic at the same time. Highlights: the title track, "Northern Star," and "Petals," but this is a pretty consistently strong effort by Hole.

'Celebrity skin" gets my vote for best song of the 90s. her vocals are classic. Had she been born 20 years earlier, she could have been the queen of punk.

This album never stays on the shelf long. No need to list a fav track, just hit play and turn it up. Really hoping she makes another great album.
