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 50.7/100, a mean average of 49.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 49.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 27.2.

Don't understand the hate for Creed, as far as I'm concerned this is a pretty good album and I actually like Scott's voice. (Edited)

This isn't a bad album. It's actually quite solid. While My Own Prison is a great post-grunge/hard rock album, this is a good, albiet more radio-friendly album. I really like "Higher", "Wash Away Those Years" and"What If", and "With Arms Wide Open" is a guilty pleasure.

I dunno, at least Creed ain't as bad as Nickelback. (Edited)

Quite good, to say it's the second album of Creed I have gotten through.
With arms wide open is the key track on this album, What if is the heaviest track on this album, Are you ready? is a great start to this album and the other songs such as Beautiful and Higher are ok, but I need to give the other songs on this album a few more times to listen to on here, but for now, I give this a solid 70/100, I don't like it as much as Nickelback but it's still very good to listen to if you're a post-grunge rocker.
NOTE: I will listen to other none single songs a few times eventually and the rating of this album could change or stay the same depending if I like them or not. (Edited)

Radio friendly singles make this the band's highlight album. The clear standout among Creed's album output. (Edited)
