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 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.8/100, a mean average of 75.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.3.

So not my music
Quite unique for a hardcore punk record, but tracks are hit or miss, the reggae ones especially miss, but when it hits it is really sorry (Sailin On, Right Brigade, FVK, Banned In DC)
Easily one of the masterpieces of hardcore punk. Christgau said that this proves that when u have a jazz band play punk the result is very fast heavy-metal. I dunno about that but it was quite funny.

Awesome debut that is mostly hardcore punk sometimes offset by reggae proving to be a one of a kind combination.

I like the Reggae on the punk record... that was a first for me. I enjoy what this represents... but probably not going to be spinning often for me.
Best punk album of all time.
this album's punk tracks are just so consistently good and the occasional reggae track just makes it all the more interesting
