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 6% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.7/100, a mean average of 75.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.8.

Veruca Salt is a favorite band of mine, and the best songs of the album ("Seether," "Number One Blind," "Forsythia," "Get Back," "All Hail Me") are spectacular. However there's also a lot of sleepy, uninteresting songs that drag it down. Nina Gordon and Louise Post have great harmonies and their sound is fantastic, a bit like 'bubblegrunge.' It's not seamless throughout but the standouts are fantastic.
Seether is a great single, and there are some other good melodies, but on the whole the album is undercooked and heavy on filler. The next album (Eight Arms to Hold You) is the record where they really gelled and kicked butt. (Edited)

Dynamic range is the bread and butter of Veruca Salt, but the soft lullaby sections of this record are duller and drag longer than future outings.

They seemed so cool and cutting at the time, but in reterospect, this is just an average alt-rock album.

This is really good. No idea why it's ranked so low.
