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 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 81.7/100, a mean average of 80.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.7.

First half is very good, second is a very disappointing for me.
An absolute classic. The first E.P. To ever top the Billboard 200 and it definitely earned it with its few but fantastic compositions.
One of my favourite Projects from any artist ever. Jar of Flies really Highlights the diversity of Layne’s song writing capabilities. The first four tracks are some of the most gorgeous acoustic songs ever!

awesome stuff.
This album has an incredible opening four tracks and the way they seamlessly blend together makes for a near perfect start to the album. However, the final 3 tracks are not up to the same standard and the quality definitely dips by the last song. It is an amazing acoustic and slower AIC album but that drop off at the end just keeps it from being better than Dirt in my opinion.
Best EP I've ever heard.
Beautiful. It defines the other side of the coin of AIC; their slow, mellow and warm side while still having their original seal. Best EP of all time

I can’t think of a better EP. If you were following the group you knew they had this side after Sap but this is another level. This was the perfect way to follow the heaviness of Dirt.

Very good acoustic album
Another one of the definitive albums of the grunge era. It serves as sort of a nice palette cleanser in between two heavy records. The first 4 tracks are Alice in Chains classics.
Key tracks: Rotten Apple, Nutshell, No Excuses, I Stay Away
