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 22% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.6/100, a mean average of 72.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.6.

Probably the most light hearted album I've ever heard, I bet if The Strokes came out before this people would think of this as a parody album! That said its pretty good. Just straight up rock and roll with no pretense, classic post-punk revival.

Hysterical modern punk, absolutely marvelous. It's brutal, catchy, quick, and in the end a lot of fun. As far as 21st century's punk go, this is the best I know.

Few good songs here and there. Not bad at all. The Strokes came after, but I prefer them. 2 very similar bands. The Hives are probably a bit more punk though.
A solid rock album. The highlight is the 1-2-3 punch of "Main Offender", "Outsmarted", and "Hate To Say I Told You So".
