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 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 80.9/100, a mean average of 79.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.0.

The first album is great, but this is their defining statement. The sound and feel is better, even on the buzz saw songs which is what the first album was almost all about. The writing here is stronger over two full sides, and this one even boasts some variety. 'Sheena' and 'Cretin' maintain the classic sound, 'Lobotomy' and 'Happy Family' are silly, ridiculous fun, and 'Here Today Gone Tomorrow' slows things down enough to reveal some sweet heartbreak, both in Johnny's guitar and Joey's vocal. Even if you think the Ramones sound too 'samey' over their career, you must at least have the first album and this one.

I think this one is more fun than their debut, which is always ranked higher for some reason. Their new drummer was better too. It's a great album to rock out to on a summer day. The Ramones are synonymous with fun for me, and this album is a lot of fun!

If such a thing as a "perfect punk" platter exists...which goes against the rough grain that defined the genre's very attitude...THE RAMONES' third effort ROCKET TO RUSSIA may very well be it.

Ramones 3rd album completes the legendary trilogy with the original lineup. The sound has more of a surfer vibe this time around but as usual the songs are fast and the lyrics are cleverly cynical. (Edited)
