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 8% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.3/100, a mean average of 74.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.0.

Hands down the best of all Placebo albums. The most consistent with the highest number of top quality songs with only a couple of tracks that fall into the filler category. Great rhythms, melodies and riffs. Surprising it's not rated higher within their cannon.
Don't know how this album is ranked so low in the overall chart. It's brilliant. The first 5 tracks are exceptional, but then there is a big drop-off for the rest of the tracks (except Special Needs). Probably drags down the rating for me. My highlights are The Bitter End (I remember as a 10-year-old hearing this on Top Of The Pops and being obsessed with it for weeks), This Picture, Special Needs and Bulletproof Cupid (one of my favourite instrumental tracks of all time). Centrefolds is the weakest track.
Complete genious...listen all
Excellent first part (in particular tracks 1,3,4,5), huge dip after that. Overall, 70/100.
I'm very impressed with this album. I knew two or three songs but I decided to listen to the whole album and I'll have to join the best ones. Listen all and you will be surprised. Best songs are 4 ... 9 ... 11
The first 5 songs are very impressive, especially 'bitter end', and later 'special needs'...... Wow
Without 'something rotten' and 'protect me' I would give it
A 95. My favorite placebo album, and that's saying a lot.

Favoritas: The Bitter End, This Picture, Special Needs, English Summer Rain
My favourite Placebo album a lot of it for personal reasons as the songs at the time the album released just grabbed me and I still listen to it and have recently bought the beautiful blue vinyl Special Edition! Geeky! The tracks are all different. Some punky, some more electro, some ballady and tender but the deep down Placebo sound is always there. I always think this album is when Placebo musically grew up.
Favourite Tracks: This Picture, Sleeping with Ghosts, Special Needs
Worst Tracks: N/A!
