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 5% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.1/100, a mean average of 75.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.2.

A very unique album if I do say so myself. At the beginning of the marvelous decade known as the 90's, Primus released not just one, but 2 amazing pieces of insanity. The style of singing that sounds like a stereotypical white male attempting to impersonate a stereotypical white male from the country has come to be a very unique piece of vocals. The main draw of Primus' music is just how insane it truly is. Just a bunch of amazingly well made tunes with the bass parts played superbly while the singing just suits the overly tone of the album itself.
The thing I've always liked about Primus is that they seem like the sort of band that just don't care. This is what reflects in their music, just a bunch of goof balls trying to make songs. It turns out amazing.

Saw these guys for the first time last week, they were phenomenal and it was my first real taste as to what Primus was. I had heard multiple songs before, but never realized what level of rhythmic, musical, mantra level grooves I was in for the whole night. They played almost all of the first half of this album throughout the night so it's the first full Primus record I'm listening to.
One of the great bass albums of all time, but the drums from Tim Alexander and guitar from Larry Lalonde are also brilliant.

Three monsters at the top of their inspiration, Frank Zappa became a Jaco Pastorius and made this crazy album.

He didn't invent slap bass, but without Les Claypool most white fret-monkeys would have stuck to their 6-strings. Energetic and enigmatic, the trio's second studio effort epitomizes the Primus sound and deftly champions three masters of their game.

Splendid. Primus finds their groove, balancing their trademark humor with tight riffage, heavy on the low end.
