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 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 82.6/100, a mean average of 81.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 82.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.8.

Great album, they improved their music in every aspect here comparing to Slanted & Enchanted.

This is an improved version of Slanted & Enchanted where they have clearly refined their sound and gone away from their raw and rough roots. Some people may argue that this is a step in the wrong direction as that raw sound is what made them unique. I totally disagree with this point as the upgrade in sonic quality makes this a far more consistent and enjoyable listen. It might lose its relatability but it more than makes up for this with how enjoyable it is. It is difficult to find a weak point in this record with most tracks being at least good and some take it even further and are outstanding. These songs include Cut Your Hair, Gold Soundz and Range Life which in my opinion are 3 of their greatest ever tracks. When you pair this with the cleaner and better produced music you get a much more entertaining and engaging experience that feels cohesive and full of quality. Overall, this is an elite level album and it is slightly better than Slanted & Enchanted due to my liking of a more rich sounding release and I do believe this is the more consistent record.

I bet that better bands could be found even from Finland at this particular point in time. I just can't get this sound to affect my soul. I do not hate this , but I can live without this. 70/100 is well enough for this.

A slight notch below Slanted and Enchanted, but only slight. Its probably the apex of Pavement. In the middle of an incredible run. I saw them play a double show (early and late) in 1994. A band at the peak of their powers. Loved this album because I'm empty and you're empty too.

Only coming to this in 2020 - it's my cup of tea without overwhelming me across the whole album. But will return to it over time and get more familiar

Overall, a pretty underwhelming release. I do like the song Range Life, but the rest of it just sounds like generic indie rock to me.
