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 79.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.2.

Classic rock purists usually don't get indie rock. Your loss.
I bought this the week it came out and was really excited about the prospect, having been charmed by the single Trigger Cut. It wasn't a let down then and I must of played it 4 times on that day. 20+ years on and I still love it to bits, for me it somehow just retains that freshness. It's an absolute joy which for me they would never better. For years I've avoided putting this album top of my list, always going for something more widely respected like Pet Sounds or something. Not anymore and with amazing tracks like Summer Babe / Trigger Cut / In the Mouth a Desert through to beautiful songs like Here & Zurich is Stained and fuzzy gems like Perfume it's just brilliant. I'm standing up and claiming this to be the greatest album of all time and that feels good.
An album that is best consumed being blasted in your mom's 2003 Honda CR-V with the windows down because the a/c doesn't work.
Great example of what any band should aim for with a debut album. A great display of Pavements wild and thoughtful sides to simple, loud, and fun music. Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain is technically better, but this is a great listen as well and well worth checking out. Best tracks are Summer Babe (Winter Version), In The Mouth A Desert, and Perfume V.

This is a debut album?! MY GOD?! Definitely deserving of being at the pinnacle of the 1990s!
