Rating metrics: Help 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 7% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.4/100, a mean average of 75.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 10.7.

“'92:6 The Battle of the Dinosaur Jr JUNIORS Two bands were oft labeled Dinosaur Jr Jr back in 1992. Afghan Whigs & Buffalo Tom. Both put out their finest work yet in 1992 effectively shirking off any pejorative junior label and coming into their own. Both of these albums are highlights of indie…”

Recently I was part of a conversation with some friends about the career trajectory of Buffalo Tom. Among my friends in college, it was undisputed conventional wisdom at the time that Buffalo Tom's first two albums, their self-titled debut and Birdbrain, are alternative-rock classics. The album where we began to split is Let Me Come Over. Some missed the raw, imperfect production of the first two albums, whereas others liked the slicker production of the new album. By the time Big Red Letter Day came out, most of my friends had moved on, rolling their eyes at the band's "selling out." I have always been in the camp that thinks Let Me Come Over is the band's high point: a loud, guitar-driven, three-chord rock album with some surprisingly tender moments layered into the album's overall arc. For me the clean production is a sign of the band's increasing maturity and development, and I for one welcome the change from the band's fuzzier early sound. Any discussion about this album has to begin with the driving rocker "Velvet Roof," which was about as close to a hit single Buffalo Tom ever came. A great, emotional statement from one of the best bands of the Northampton scene of the early nineties.

I have loved this band from the first album. This is their high point. Velvet roof is an absolute belter and the whole album oozes a self confidence that makes it a classic. Great live band also.

Sure they came from a perspective alongside Dinosaur Jr graduates. But with Let me come over and later Sleepy Eyed, they became the band they invinted to be. Absolute great songs

This has a wonderful effortless feel to it, as if the energy comes from the songs themselves and propels the band rather than the other way around.

Taillights Fade must be the most underrarted song of the grunge era.
