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 is rated in the top 5% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.5/100, a mean average of 75.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.9.

Foo Fighters finest moment where everything just seems to click. The writing is catchy though lyrically it can lack on occasion. At times they seriously rock out like a 90s hard rock band and it’s superb. Feels like an ode to the rock music that they enjoyed growing up.

O grande álbum da banda! Alcançaram o máximo de reconhecimento.

Very consistent album, there are no weak tracks. My highlights are Rope, Miss The Misery and Bridge Burning.
Some of the Foo's best material! The entire album isn't perfect, but the vintage sound carries on.
It's OKAY.......

One of the best from the Foo's!
With the return of Pat Smear, the band is flourishing again. On this album the Foo Fighters make a good combination of the three guitars. Furthermore, the songwriting is very strong and the production is also very successful.
Really good album, Foo Fighters' best since The Colour and the Shape.
Up to this point, Dave Grohl & The Foos were treading water since 1999. This revitalised the band and the result is a wondrous achievement and a terrific listen from start to finish.
