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 10% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.7/100, a mean average of 74.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.9.

This is Blur's best work. Its very artistic and much more experimental than their previous work. 5 stars. All the folks who disagree probably prefer Oasis to Radiohead ;)
If you take away 13 and Parklife, I see this as Blur's best album. Very weird, experimental, melancholy, pretty, and sometimes silly fun. Blur's swan song is truly special and people overlook it since Coxon's not in it.
Also, Sweet Song is absolutely beautiful and should have more recognition in Blur's dense catalogue.
Wow I just finished listening to this album for the hundredth time and I am still blown away by this album. Probably Blurs most underrated album ever. This album is really good. Best songs: Ambulance, Out Of Time, Crazy Beat, Battery In Your Leg, and Good Song. Highly recommend this album. Every song is awesome!

Still a very good album but it's more like a Damon Albarn solo album as Graham is missing.
With no guitarist and no ideas, one of the weakest Blur's album. Except for the malynconic single "Out of Time".
After this album they split up.
