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 23% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.5/100, a mean average of 71.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.8.

Rock fans were eager for a decent Rock band in the early 2000's. At this point all there was on offer was screamy punk rock like My Chemical Romance or no fat fast rock like The Strokes.

So people jumped on Kings of Leon. Their first two albums aren't that good and overrated.

They are weirdly delivered garage rock if that garage was made in a southern USA wheat field.

There are highlights where hook and raw weirdness combine.

Taper Jean Girl, The Bucket, and Razz are pretty cool.

Under that Radar rock rock fans will spout crazy love for Kings of Leon's first 2 albums.

When really their best stuff is Because of the Times and Only the Night (Edited)

This is the Kings of Leon that are worth it. you can still feel a more spontanious, raw nature to their music. The first half is GREAT, right from the opening son Slow night So Long, until the already established anthem The Bucket. This could have beeen one of the greatest album of the decade, but it really stars to vanish after Soft, so the last minutes are pretty unmemorable. Still an amazing album and the best one by KOL (years light ahead from their last raleases)

Fav Tracks: Slow Night So Long, Taper Jean Girl, Milk and The Bucket (Edited)

Great second album by Kings of Leon. Great opening song. So much replay value on these songs. Rememo is the weakest on this album to me, but other than that all these songs are good if not great. Favorite Tracks being Four Kicks, Slow Night So Long, King of The Rodeo, and Taper Jean Girl.

First few songs are absolute killers which you hope sets the albums tone. Unfortunately quality dips a bit after them. Not saying they're bad, just nowhere near as good. When released, it had a fresh sound as a whole compared to what else was out there. Still good but hasn't aged well. (Edited)

Im more into the Kings later stuff. Early stuff a bit garage for me but I need more listens. Milk of course on this album is outstanding and their best ever song and one of my top 10 songs of all time.
