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 6% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.6/100, a mean average of 74.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.4.

Beck (MV - USA - Nov 99) - Midnite Vultures
Bookended by the brilliant 'Sexx Laws' and (even better) 'Debra', what lies in between is typical Beck, with a mixture of the great and the awful ('Get Real Paid').

Still my favorite Beck album and one of my tops of the 90’s, so funny, so funky, so fun!
Fantastic collection of songs.
Every now and then you've got to stop worrying about shit, not think too hard and have a bit of fun.....and this is what this albums like for me. May not be Becks best, or indeed my favourite but when I don't want to have to concentrate too hard this is one I enjoy listening to.
I generally dig Beck but after the first two tracks - Sexx Laws and Nicotine & Gravy - the album just turns into a pile of messy proto hipster nonsense.

Questo disco nella discografia del suo autore rappresenta abbastanza un'eccezione: un album da festa, l'aveva definito Beck, ed a ragione. Si balla, ci si muove, è musica frizzante, attiva: altri suoi lavori, invece, contengono una musica magari più profonda ma pure più noiosa...
Sexy, slick, funky and utter nonsense.

Beck does silly fun dance funk music! He surprisingly does it well. The jump from this to Sea Change is so enormous and proves his versatile talents as an artist.
This is a niche album really only worth listening to if you are feeling light hearted and silly.
It's still done very well even if his lyrics are even more nonsensical then Odelay! which I thought would be impossible to top in nonsense lyrics
