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 76.6/100, a mean average of 75.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.3.

Solid album, with incredible vocals throughout. Not a bad song on it, but not as much stood out as I had vaguely remembered from my childhood. (Edited)
A masterpiece from start to finish. 5 Stars. (Edited)
One hell of an enjoyable album, it mixes grunge and alternative rock with pop melodies and keeps diversity throughout whole project. (Edited)
A solid album with 3 or 4 great tracks but everything else doesn't really reach that same level as those songs. It is a pretty harmless record though and is quite easy to just enjoy it without thinking too deeply behind it all. This means it is a fantastic album to listen to when you have other important things to do as it never really completely hooks you in. Musically, it is quite simplistic and follows the same sort of pattern from song to song which has a varying degree of success. This is dependant on the quality of chorus with that being the real infectious parts of the songs that are great. Most of the other songs lack this catchy chorus and that makes them not get stuck in our head and so they just flow by without really making an impact. Overall, a decent record with glimpses of greatness but it is never really achieved properly on here. (Edited)
This self titled debut, like the band, is ironically titled as it is fill of great tracks from start to finish. One of the albums of the year (Edited)

This album is great from start to finish with great music and attitude on questioning yourself, relationships and rebounding from mistakes. Tracks like Supervixen and Only Happy When It Rains are adrenaline magic along with the calmer tracks like Milk. To me this album is Garbage at their best!
Just got this album in March 2018 and it is full of killer tunes. I recall loving the single Stupid Girl at the time along with Only When It Rains and Milk. But there is even more to this album with other highlights including Supervixen and Queer. Shirley Manson knows how to sneer and deliver
