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 18% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.9/100, a mean average of 73.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.3.

The album is very good. The guitar work elevates it to excellent. The songwriting doesn't always develop, but when it does (tracks 3 and 4), it produces classics. The production perfectly fits the album. 9/10!

One of the best debut albums in rock and roll history, period. Masterfully oscillates between swagger and sincerity. Huge radio friendly hooks belie smart, vibrant punk rock lyrics. It's a shame that Third Eye Blind was somewhat written off, at least critically, for the crime of being a multi-platinum arena band- but gratifying to see this record rank as high as it does. Destined to be discovered and re-discovered by feisty emo teenagers for the rest of time.

One of my favourite album in the 90s. All songs matter but I specially like:
1) Losing a whole year 100
2) Good for You 90
3) Thanks a Lot 90

It really doesn't get any better. One of the all time classics that can be heard over and over again without any issues.

I love this album so much. It's emotional af, but easily accessible. Simple, but effective. Seriously, it's insane. Interesting songwriting, great vocals and catchy hooks come together for a phenomenal peace of art. It is very 90s-ish, maybe a little bit over the top, but damn, it's a perfect soundtrack when you're on the edge of growing up.

It's a bit too American sounding for my liking but it's not bad.

Third Eye Blind's debut should never be dismissed as average pop rock. I'm not saying it isn't pop rock, but these songs are spectacular from front to back, and just about every track could be a radio hit. Everything on here just rocks my heckin socks off.
