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 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.6/100, a mean average of 76.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.8.

Shortlisted in 1992 for Album of the year at the Grammys. The winner was Unforgettable... With Love by Natalie Cole. It should have been this album hands down

I get why this is divisive, but also, the highs on this thing are incredible. Beautiful, lush, and more rewarding than not.
Would rate higher if it didn't include Shiny Happy People which is probably my least favourite R.E.M song
Losing My Religion is one of the best hit songs of 1990s, but apart from this song this album has only a few moments worth mentioning (Texarkana, Country Feedback). Still slightly enjoyable listen.

This is definitely a poppier affair than we've been used to from R.E.M., even taking into consideration Green's Stand. So how does it stand up to their other material? Oh it's marvellous. From the rumbling Low to the rap of Radio Song, the band showcase their songwriting ability amply, delivering on all fronts. The energy dips a little in the second half of the album, but all is forgiven once the excellent Me In Honey swings around to close the show. A brilliant piece of work.
My favourite REM album, just pipping Automatic For The People. My favourites are Shiny Happy People and Near Wild Heaven.
Its is their best selling record, which is no superise because the music very catchy along with the lyrics on the bulk of the songs.I like all of the songs .
Very good.
fantastic album side one had only two clunkers but side two is where its at side two is a classic all the way through
essentials radio song losing my religion near wild heaven and side 2
