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 is rated in the top 9% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.8/100, a mean average of 73.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 19.2.

Just like any popular radio band, Sublime seems to attract an unforgivably annoying, loyal fan base. I can't tell you how many girls I've bumped into since the mid-90's who've lived their lives with this album as a soundtrack. Yikes. In all honesty, I hate listening to Sublime around humans because of how they respond to it. It can ruin Sublime for me for MONTHS. But... if I'm by myself, driving & I haven't heard it for awhile, I LOVE IT. It makes me really happy and inspires Office Space/Michael Bolton-esque moments in my car. I love everything except "Santeria" (due to excessive radio play). You can take your Radiohead. I'll take my Sublime. Buy this album and sing along!!! The whole things gels!!!

Fun album, some great songs on here but i feel like the songs that don't hold up make it drag on a little. Going to have to listen again as it might be a grower. (Edited)

Agreed. This has LA written all over it - the mixture of ska, Reggae, punk, rap, pop, rock is just the melting pot of LA I love. I miss cruisin down Sepulveda blasting April 29, 1992.

Plus these songs are just amazing on top of the one mentioned:
What I Got
Wrong Way
Santeria
Caress Me Down
Doin' Time

This is one of those few albums that transcends all its influences to create something great. What I Got, Santiera, Wrong Way, but also a lot of the other songs have soul like Pawn Shop & Doin' Time.

This album has some great tracks on it but is really let down by the more bland filler tracks. If you cut the album down a little it would be a fantastic record but the elongated run time and the several tracks which made me zone out makes it hard to give this record a high ranking. While there are a lot of positives like it being extremely chill and also a really unique album makes me be able to see why people would love this album. I also found the beats to be very catchy and the instrumentation that accompany them were really good as well. Overall, an album with a lot of potential but I don't think it is fully realised on this record. (Edited)
