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 25% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.6/100, a mean average of 72.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.0.

A bit of a return to form. With this they seemed to be upping the tempo a bit on a good chunk of songs. Pretty consistent with no real weak tracks. Would rank as my 3rd favorite from them after Ten & V's.

Um dos mais crus da década, é memorável e não muito valorizado, uma pena.

Whoa! Pearl Jam returns with high energy rock.

After Riot Act I thought they were done. Withered, tired, spent, and out of ideas. Then they do this.

Gone and Come Back are classics

Inside Job is a great closer.

Life Wasted and World Wide Suicide are excellent singles

Comatose is manic and great in the vain of Lukin and Spin the Black Circle.

Marker in the Sand and Severed Hand are smart rockers

Army Reserve is touching.

Like all of the best Pearl Jam albums,none of them reach 5 star status because they all contain a couple songs that range from duds to bland.

The middle of the album from Parachutes to Big Wave is skippable. I truly don't care about Vedder's love for surfing.

Everything else here is great! I rank it 3rd behind VS and Vitalogy. It's great to see a stellar band find a second wind in their storied career and stay relevant

Never understood the dislike for this EP, for me this is right behind Vitalogy for 4th best album. Also, Come Back is one of their best songs.

I know this was supposed to be somewhat of a return to form, but there's nothing on this album that stands out to me.

This is sort of Pearl Jam getting tired of being in self-imposed exile and trying to make a straightforward album again. It's definitely a good one, a nice salute to their roots.

This anticipates the return to form that was Backspacer. There are a handful of very worthwhile tracks on this including the understated, underrated Come Back and the very lovely Marker in the Sand.
