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 7% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.1/100, a mean average of 74.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.5.

dihansse 05/09/2024 19:50 in My discoveries per year“These are the two albums of the year 2000 I listened to: First an album I already own/know: I suppose their best album with the opener Godless as the highlight. It also contains a few more than satisfying singles like Bohemian Like You which is more than enough to balance some of the weaker points…”

The Dandy Warhols' run through a gamut of influences on "Thirteen Tales From Urban Bohemia".
"Godless" opens this album with an acoustic guitar reminiscent of George Harrison's 'My Sweet Lord' and takes turn into a Burt Bacharach vibe... A spacey psychedelic "Mohammed" has a chilled Beatleish tone... "Neitzche" falls in with a raw grind...A rustic feel from a slide guitar and banjo on "Country Leaver" ... "Solid" is a fuzzy upbeat jangle ... A shoegazing "Horse Pills" pounds it's way through it's own sleaze... The restless sing-a-long "Get Off"... The tranquil ballad "Sleep" gently drifts... The radiant psychedelic "Cool Scene" has a Byrds' warmth... The super catchy "Bohemian Like You" has that Stones thing going on... An Iggy/Velvet Underground nod rumbles through "Shakin'"...Buffalo Springfield infused "Big Indian"... The twangy melancholy of "The Gospel" rounds out this is eclectic album.
Dense, bright, melodies wrapped in a slacker vibe. Every song is a keeper. Sonorous warmth, luscious guitar overdubs and beautiful harmony filled songs cross-fade to give a continuous atmosphere. An excellent album.

Upon a first listen I can understand people finding nothing special about this one. It sounds a lot like Odelay or Blur's self titled, and arrived about six years after those two. But when you think about the albums it (at least seems to have) influenced such as Gorillaz self titled and Demon Days LPs and a lot of the samples that Danger Mouse used on Broken Bells and The Good, The Bad, and the Queen, you can see that Dandy Warhols actually enhanced a mid-90s sound as well as anybody that came before. This album definitely out-classes the works of your Dishwallas, Better Than Ezras, Everclears, and your Marcy Playgrounds. Pity that the world was sick of this sound by 2000. Standouts include Mohammed, Get Off, and Nietzsche.

The first 3 tracks flow and meld perfectly together, Bohemian Like Me is one of my all-time faves but the whole thing is great. I could listen to this one over and over and over and then the first 3 again. Perfect road trip album.

Draws upon many influences and wears them on it's sleeve. It's a quality album with dreamy melodies and a muted tone. Funky, intelligent and catchy. Too bad they have the personalities of douches.

American Brit-Pop at it's best. Rated too low on this site. Derivative yes, boring, no way. For me this album is far more enjoyable than the far from derivative Kid A. (Edited)
