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 4% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.9/100, a mean average of 75.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.4.

A fun, feel-good, and uplifting album. a Breath of fresh air
Starts well then kind of tails off and sounds very much the same the rest of the way. Not bad but not ground breaking. Enjoyable when your in the mood. The copy I have finish's with their cover of 'Mrs Robinson' which rounded it up nicely.
It is ok, a little bit boring after a couple of songs.
Wouldn't call it spectacular, but it provides tons of fun anyway.
Favorite Tracks:It's A Shame About Ray, My Drug Buddy, Bit Part, Hannah And Gabi, Mrs. Robinson
Short and sweet (under 30 mins). No bad tracks, not very original but very catchy. Mrs Robinson (an extra track on later issues) is great.
Solid 90's record. Underrated.
Hugely underrated! A good-time album for me, ie. I put this on whenever I need to be in a good mood.
Good power pop/alternative rock album. Best 10 songs average is 86,2/100 and the album can get good 85/100. Mostly good to very good songs contained, I like the sound and album is normal in variety. Best songs are "It's a shame..." and "Buddy" both 90/100, followed by "Rockin Stroll", "Confetti", "Rudderless" and "The turnpike down" all 85/100. My CD also includes the coversong "Mrs. Robinson" as song 13, I'm rating it 85/100 too.
although i was never a big Lemonheads fan, i think that Evan Dando put together a really solid album here. i also think the contributions of his friend Juliana Hatfield help make this a standout disc. "My Drug Buddy" is my favorite track, and i listen to it often. when they album was released, they had to change the album artwork to rename the song either "My Buddy" or "Buddy" in order to get it carried by stores like Target, who apparently thought the word "Drug" made it not family friendly.
