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 70.3/100, a mean average of 69.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 69.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.0.

I remember being underwhelmed when listening to other Meat Puppets records, as if trying to escape the hypnosis of them being Nirvana's favourite band. Coming to this fresh and far removed from the Cobain/Grohl/Novoselic association, it is a really listenable record. My favourite moment has to be when they shift rapidly from the countrified ramblings into full blast with Vampyr's Winged Fantasy.

This is a great one. Their playing is less sloppy than on their first albums but that doesn't do this album any harm. The added instrumentation by piano, accoustic guitar, banjo etc give this album an additional breeziness which works very well with the quintessence on Unfrozen Memory where the addition of a harpsichord theme on top of the layered electric guitars works like a house on fire. Even the fact that on some tracks like Sea of Heartbreak the songs are maybe a bit too schmalzy country doesn't really break the good flow here. There's even a semi prog song to be found here with Vampyr's Winged Fantasy with a Uriah Heep tinged organ sound and even this one doesn't feel out of place.

Derrick Bostrum is back on drums, reuniting the original lineup for the first time since 1995. While many of the Meat Puppets records follow the ZZTop-like guitar rock formula they solidified with "Huevos," this record more aligns with the melodic psychedelic americana of "Mirage."

Meat Puppets sound very focused and driven here, like they have something to prove. Perhaps at this point in their career they are confident enough to be bold in producing dusty tunes that are true to their muse.
