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 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.1/100, a mean average of 76.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.8.

Steady catchy rhythms, a lot of them being bottom end and bass heavy. Differing vocals on some tracks gives it great variety. A cracker album. (Edited)

This is the birth of "Gorillaz", and a project that ended up being both influencial and revolutionary.

The mix of genres and ideas showcased in this album is both messy and charming.
Tracks like 19-2000 and Rock the House took a straight jab at the expectated sound of a popular music.

There is a lot to say about the depth and creativity shared between all the project's tracks. It unfortunetly also makes for its only weakness; its messiness.

4/5, 8/10
Great

One of my albums of 2001 back then. Still very good although some songs haven't aged as well as the singles

Nowhere near as good as Demon Days and Plastic Beach, but still contains two of their best songs - Clint Eastwood and Tomorrow Comes Today. And a few other gems too. As an album it doesn't really work for me. The last track is really long and annoying at times (I hate hidden tracks following 5 minutes of silence)
