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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 78.9/100, a mean average of 78.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.1.

Winner of the Mercury Prize in 1992
For me, not as inconsistent as others have stated but it’s not the best primal scream album. Having said that, the highs are super high.
Movin’ on up, come together and loaded are great tracks. The rest are good to ok.
The heavy hand of a producer can be felt throughout, a few different ones on various tracks. The music is well done but at times lacks focus. And the creative spark or chemistry of a band doesn't really shine through all the production. Still, parts of this are pretty great - some sublime moments on "Come Together" and "Loaded". Iconic album for having integrated new elements into dance music, such as rock, dub, and gospel. (though the glorification of drug use is unfortunate, given the overdose epidemic we find ourselves in)
It's interesting that this seems to be deemed as their magnum opus. It's an album of songs to trip out on when zoning out wasted. It is a decent album with some great tracks but for me personally, it's not even in the top 3 of Primal Scream's best albums.
Way too long, most of the tracks could be half the length because it's just the same thing on loop for 5 minutes. There are some good moments, Movin on Up of course and Loaded. Also Damaged is a nice little song. But most of the album gives nothing, and when it's an hour long it just makes it worse. Unless you're on drugs, in which case it's probably the best album of all time.
Definitely sounded fresh at the time and this is still very enjoyable record, perfect for sunny day. My main complaint here is length of this album and some tracks, but still it is a fun listen.
A very up and down listen with there being quite a lot of mediocre stuff on here but there is also some brilliant moments which make for a confusing listen. The peak of the record is the fantastic Movin' On Up which is by far the greatest track on here. It is just so infectious and easy to love that it almost makes everything that comes after it seem weaker than it probably is. There are several songs that I just can't get into on here and I think the style of music they are going for isn't done to the highest level it could be. Overall, this record does drag and it does have weaker moments but there is plenty to enjoy if you like this style of music but I don't think it is for me.
Feels like the best acid trip ever. Crazy record. I think that "Don't fight it, Feel It" is a pretty ok song, the rest is fire.

A weird aesthetic concealing an astounding lack of substance. While it does have its moments, this album really begins to drag, and feels far too proud of itself. Highlights: Higher Than The Sun, Inner Flight. Lowlights: Come Together, Movin' On Up, Dub Symphony
