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 84.8/100, a mean average of 83.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 84.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.1.

This album is tremendous. One of the best of the 90s for sure. Standout tracks to me are Mayonaise, Today, and Hummer.
blackflag29, great comment. I love the Mayonaise comparison to Loveless. (Edited)
Tracks 3-10 may be the best the 8 track stretch I've ever heard.
This album is America's best answer to Radiohead in terms of critically acclaimed music in the 90s. A perfect blend of everything that made the rock scene at the time with the iconic guitar distortion on top. Corgan's lyricism and composition skills in this album rival Brian Wilson's Pet Sounds from 27 years earlier. A consistently flawless record made even better by a flawless track order, and to me America's quintessential 90s record.

Biggest flaw: At roughly the 3:20 mark of Luna the album ends. (Edited)
The song Mayonaise is one of the great songs of all time, and I personally hate the condiment mayonnaise. The rest of the album is a blast, as well. I can't play it with my wife around, though--she seems to think it's noisy and boring.
