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 84.1/100, a mean average of 83.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 84.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.4.

Teen Age Riot might be my favorite song ever
I slightly prefer Goo, but I gotta say this is one of my favorite album covers.

I was raised on Goo and even that album was tangential to my primary listening interests in 7th-10th grade. Can't seem to get into the other albums.
Great album. A bit overrated, I think I like Sister and Washing Machine better. Best song is Silver Rocket
This must be among the best albums I've ever heard. an album lineup making you bloated with some of the best noise rock music ever made. You get introduced to this rebellious artpiece with its most familiar song, Teen age riot. From the drop of that song, you're thrown into a ground breaking chaos which knows no instrumental bounds. The Songs have the most impressive sonic narratives bringing together beautiful guitar tones and sudden breakdowns amongst the best in rock. Then this tracklist of ever creative, rebellious songs tops of with the trilogy. After this one of a kind musical journey, I believe the drop of hyperstation (the second part of the trilogy) to be perhaps the best moment in rock music history. This album is influential, groundbreaking, a flawless listen and cannot have enough good things said about it. If you are on this site and haven't heard it yet, what are you doing with your life?
Nice music. Some of the songs drag on though... But a great album nonetheless. I get what they were going for.

Great album!
I'd say this gets better as it goes on. The second half is much stronger than the first. No wonder this got them a major deal though - the talent is clear.
