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 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 80.1/100, a mean average of 78.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 80.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.7.

Good, consistent accesible hardcore punk record also labeled as post-hardcore. It's not entirely my thing, but I can't deny its quality. My favorite track is probably Blueprint.

Probably their most conventional sounding album, but that is a good thing, because sometimes Fugazi can get chaotic for the sake of being chaotic. One of the best production when it comes to heavy guitar music, as it sounds very clear, yet powerful. Guy and MacKaye are a great duo, though Guy sounds better on his own than Ian.

You have to like punk to rate this properly. I find them to be the most creative band to cone out of the punk genre. Pioneers of the Post-Hardcore genre (before the genre got influenced by Emo music in the 2000s). This is a really good record. The Argument is their best in my opinion but this is a strong debut.
