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 has a Bayesian average rating of 73.4/100, a mean average of 72.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.3.

It is brought down a little by 12.23.95 but other than that this album is solid throughout.

Much, much, much better than Bleed American. More ambitious, diverse, melodic, angsty, better sung, and in general considerably less constrained with superficial stuff like "trying to make an album that will sell". On Clarity there's the confrontational blissful opener "Table for Glasses", the catchy as hell "Lucky Denver Mint" (catchier than anything Weezer was doing at the time this record was released, for sure), the adorable hook and bell arrangements on "A Sunday", Jim Adkins powerful vocal performance on the title track, and the imaginative sprawling beauty of "Goodbye Sky Harbor". The fact that a band like this spent so much time working on that final track in order to make a statement that deserved to be remembered never ceases to make me admire the 90's as a fantastic time for popular music.

Their magnum opus, and it was also very influential.

Also no filler at all to be found here
