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 8% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.0/100, a mean average of 73.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.9.

This album is all about love. Love for music, women, drugs, alcohol, life, and reggee/punk rock music. "Punk rock changed out lives man" is how the album starts out, and the boys in Sublime let it show throughout an infectiously groovy album. The main man behind the band is Mr. Bradley Nowell (RIP) who played some awesome guitar and put his heart & soul into his singing. This album is a celebration of the so-cal lifestyle and is filled with heart, good-vibes, and real music. RIP Bradley/Sublime

Ok, i hate hearing the argument against artists or their albums that basically say "it all sounds the same" because DUH, if it's the same artist (recording material around the same time in their career) then OF COURSE it's going to sound similar... But DAMN man, it's the white man's reggae record over-and-over... Ok, i'll stop for a second. What i tell everyone who says "their music all sounds the same" is boil it down to the question, "ok, if all their music sounds the same, then what is it about that ONE sound that you don't like?" For this sublime album, what drives me bananas is the lazy take on reggae and this message of just chillin' and smokin' is prime material across 22 tracks. The funny thing is -- overall, i like this album. But it's this stoned nonchalance that keeps me from liking it even more. There's so much more that could've been done with a lot of these tracks. Waste opportunity. 40 oz to Stupor is more like it.

My favorite Sublime album. Self-titled is great, but I can't understand why everyone thinks it's so much better than 40 Oz.

I believe the band did their best work here. It’s a long album but this is now a classic in my book. Too many good tracks to name including some well chosen covers. This is a great party album.

It borders somewhere between musical genius amazing and just a random bunch of mediocre songs. The many times I have listened to it I just have this confused feeling the whole time (maybe their paranoia from the weed coming through... ahhaa).
