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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.8/100, a mean average of 76.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.5.

Leave out the annoying tracks No. 7 , 9 and 14 and you have a pretty decent album.
One of the best PJ albums. Maybe not containing many of their better songs but definitely one of their most consistent albums overall. Could've done without the last track though as that soiled an almost flawless record.

Seen by many as the last classic Pearl Jam record, Vitalogy is a largely experimental record that sees Pearl Jam go deeper into the abyss, as they strive to reject the commercial appeal of the first record with strange, throwaway songs, such as the infamous Bugs. On the other hand, Vitalogy contains some of Pearl Jam's most powerful anthems, ones that rival Ten's anthems, like Nothingman, Corduroy, Better Man, and Immortality, which makes Vitalogy a frustrating listen for some. Nevertheless, this is a fascinating record, which for its strengths, as well as experiments, makes it as essential as Vs, if not on the level of Ten.
Shortlisted for album of the year at the 1996 Grammys. The winner was Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette
On the level of their debut album, Ten and much better than their sophomore album…which hasn’t aged all that well IMO.
A strong album, though not quite at the level of "Ten" or "Vs." There are no standout songs, although the playing is very solid and is worth a listen or two. 8.5/10!
So many great songs yet so much filler, many tracks are jams or just mucking about which is awful on an album of cohesive work. A missed opportunity. This album should be lower than 3rd

Toda força do Pearl Jam no seu auge.
This album never really connected with me like Ten, Vs or No Code. There are some good songs on the album (Better Man, Immortality and Not For You being my highlights) but there are also some godawful tracks that are really hard to listen to and just bring down the album for me (Stupidmop, Bugs and Aye Davanita). Remove those 3 and it'd probably be a 50/100 for me.
