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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 78.2/100, a mean average of 76.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.4.

This album did nothing special for me, but it was not bad.

75 / 100 , did not hate this.
very decent country prog grunge mix
The second record from the Meat Puppets (brothers Curt and Kris Kirkwood and drummer Derrick Bostrom) is often the most recognized record from the group, most notably for the three songs Nirvana chose to record on their Unplugged record: Oh Me, Lake of Fire and Plateau. The rest of the tracks here are a mix of hardcore punk, psychedelic instrumental and druggy cowpunk songs.
It is messy, unpolished and definitely not the best place to start for the casual listener. I would recommend their breakthrough record " Too High to Die" or their other 80's albums before this one.
Career Highlight: Lake of Fire
Gems: Oh Me, Plateau, Lost

What a fantastic blend of genres. There's flavors of hardcore punk, country, psychedelic rock, alternative rock, all seamlessly melded together. Meat Puppets are super underrated.

Pretty awesome! Love his hysteric voice, and there are some real gems here. Combining noise and punk and alt rock. Truly before their time.

Generally awesome.

Favoritas: Lake Of Fire, Lost, Plateau, Oh Me, Climbing
Wonderfully evocative of the Arizona the band grew up in, and insinuating brilliantly the anxious state of Kirkwood's mind. A terrific set of songs, played with passion.

Love it. Such a laidback sound, but a biting tone underneath. Don't prejudge this as stoner-rock.
