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 has a Bayesian average rating of 72.8/100, a mean average of 72.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 9.7.

Love these guys and I'll listen to anything they put out. I like the album, but it doesn't have that big single that a lot of their other albums have (Freak Scene, The Wagon, Start Choppin', Feel the Pain, Watch the Corners, Tiny, etc.), so it fails to stand out in terms of the overall DJ discography, but still a solid listen. I particularly liked "Garden", "Walking To You" & "You Wonder".
Dinosaur Jr and Meat Puppets, who both emerged on the SST label, manage to put out fairly consistent records. Nothing really stands out on this one, but it's not bad at all

They indeed perform the same trick each album but they do it so well. The guitar soars again, also Lou delivers some tracks and there is never a boring moment: another excellent album of these Dinosaurs not so junior any more. (Edited)

Possibly top five most consistent bands of all time. Good stuff. (Edited)
