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 26% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.5/100, a mean average of 72.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.3.

Been addicted to this album for the last week. Maybe it’s the mood I’ve been in, but putting this on and going for a drive with no destination has been magical. On Your Own, So It Goes, and Drive You Home are my favorites. Some parts are hard to listen to due to some of the distorted tones but overall 85/100

"This is music" the way it's supposed to be made. Epic, grandiose and a masterpiece.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Terrific Album, aging like a fine wine. Album of the year, 1995.

A dark, slow album that Jim Morrison could have loved.

Another nice listen, these guys have something atmospheric... 8/10.
I have 3 The Verve albums - Urban Hymns (of course); A Storm in Heaven (who are they trying to be? Not really found their feet there with this psychedelic attempt) and this album - not quite Hymns but definitely a progression from Storm and moving towards the more punchy and rocky album that will be Hymns, without quite delivering as interesting songs on this attempt. But always nice to see a band grow into themselves rather than shine and fade over the first two releases - in effect a real band rather than a TV Show produced effort.
Nevertheless a good album - if a little one pace and downbeat and tracks probably over long. But I can see for others that it presses their buttons and each to their own.
If I need to feel depressed and seek some solace I'll reach for this album then.
Best tracks - off key vocals and lazy beat of Drive You Home; History - a track that could be on Hymns and as such can be seen as the acorn from which Hymns grows?
Unforgettable album, a britpop masterpiece, not recognized by many.
2nd fav release from this band just below Urban Hymns but not by much. Great album imo. MEZ
