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 5% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.0/100, a mean average of 75.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.5.

I find this a divided album. First half contains some of the best tracks they've ever made, but then it starts to veer off and is interspersed with electronic noise tangent tracks which is a bit of a head fuck. Still a good album though.

In its own way as impressive as Screamadelica. Obviously darker but it's likely a world view wearied by experience

Primal´s Masterpice! One of the best albums of the last decade, it´s mixture of funk, eletro, jazz and even rap make this sound unique. But remember: this is a punk album.

I probably played this every day for six months when it came out. Seeing them on the tour for this is one of the best gigs i've seen, with a forward line up of mani, shields, Gillespie, throb, innes is enough to win any fantasy music world cup. Take your pick with this, screamadelica or vanishing point as their best. You got the money, I got the soul.

Packs a pulsating punch..thematically right up my street as well. There's little point in comparing it to "screamadelica", it's like comparing apples and oranges, but XTRMNTR definitely holds its own by providing anthemic hooks and brash dystopian sonics that retain one's interest.

Very compressed music, just a couple bad tracks bring this one down, but it´s just so punchy that i'm left in the hospital when it finishes.

One of the first albums of the new millennium and one of the decades most important statements. An aggressive sounding album that attacks political issues. Not the easiest listen but a rewarding one. Some of the softer numbers are great and very trippy.

Very noisey and trippy album... such great songs inside. This is psychedelia.
