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 has a Bayesian average rating of 71.5/100, a mean average of 70.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 20.8.

This album meant absolutely nothing to me first few times I heard it, and I have no idea how. Pop-punk was a massive part of my high school experience and I gave all of the big bands a shot, but it seems the appeal of this record was lost on me at the time. I gave it a try again my senior year of college and it consumed me. It was so thrilling to listen to something so sincere. I feel like it made me aware of how much life I still have in myself, if that makes sense. There are thoughts in my brain that I'm not entertaining but I easily could if I just sat with myself without being afraid of what might happen. That's the charm to Say Anything, they live up to their name. Max is not worried about how his thoughts might affect how he is perceived. In fact he addresses that specifically on "Every Man Has A Molly" how he might be upset about the result of being so vocal but that is not going to stop him from doing it. Lyrically the record takes massive swings that would not work if it wasn't for the music meeting the lyrics at the manic, passionate level they demand. And the arrangements always perfectly swell into different layers of chaos that keep any song from feeling stale or repetitive. And any repetition (Wow I Can Get Sexual) is entirely intentional to match the complementation of the lyrics. The highlight of the record for me is the duology from "Glory" to "Yellow Cat". Sweeping from an anthem of unapologetic, passionate love in a concentration camp inspired by his grandparents, into a depressive, confused portrait of aimless 20 somethings living in the 21st century.
Another typical example of the emo-pop that dominated this era.
What a masterpiece
