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 15% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.2/100, a mean average of 73.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.6.

It's hard for me to explain just how much I love this album.. For one thing, I think it's incredibly consistent from start to finish, without a really weak song. Also, I find the lyrics to be incredible.. The strange thing is, that I can't really relate to most of them, but I still "feel" them, I know what the singer means/is trying to say... It seems to be a completely overlooked album by the critics, but at least it's getting some recognition on this site..

One of the most underrated albums of the 90s. When I first bought it I mostly just listened to the radio songs in the first half but after all these years, I now think the second half is just as good, if not better. It's surprising Third Eye Blind was not able to repeat the success of this one.

Criminally underrated, 3EB is way better than their contemporaries like Goo Goo Dolls and Matchbox Twenty

Like most people, I bought this album for the singles which are all great. It sat on my shelf for a while and I stumbled on the last 3 tracks which is one of the best endings to an album I've ever heard.

Songs 8 through 11 are standard 90's fare which really brings the level of the album to 95 out of 100.

But personal love for it and it being my go to high school album pushes it 5 star 100 for me. I understand objectively why people do not put it that high. In this case, it really is subjective for me.

3EB is one of my favorite bands of all time and nothing else they make reaches this level.
