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 12% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.8/100, a mean average of 74.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.9.

Far and away their best album. In fact if they had never released it I probably wouldn't care for STP. But it lifts up some of the other albums like Purple and No. 4 for me. Weiland said his biggest influence is David Bowie, you can kind of see it on this album. Best songs are Pop's love suicide, And So I know, Tumble in the rough, Lady Picture show

Mostly Killer, but a little filler which brought down my score. Rating (79.58)
While I liked Core and loved Purple, this is the STP album that I find myself listening to over and over.
They grew out of the grunge sound and developed creatively into their own sound. Guitarist Dean DeLeo
really shines.
Favorite Tracks: Trippin On a Hole in a Paper Heart, Big Bang Baby, Lady Picture Show, Daisy
and the brilliant And So I Know.
Only track I don't care for is Art School Girl.

This album is a ‘little’ gem and in my opinion enhances Weiland’s legacy as a pioneering progressive artist. I don’t think it challenges Purple but I think it surpasses Core as an artistic statement. I agree with the comment below in regards to initially being disappointed upon its release. I was hoping that the quality of Purple would flow into the new release. Instead we had to wrap our musical minds around a very different style which required many listens before we were well enough acquainted. Tiny Music is to Purple what Currents is to Lonerism.
A good, easy listen for a mostly rough sounding band
Less rock and more just, how do I explain it... ART, from this record.

Good alternative rock/psychedelic rock/neo-psychedelia album. Best 10 songs average is 84,2/100 and the album can get good 85/100. It's hard to nominate a best song. Most songs are good 85/100, but no hit contained. Unfortunately far away from predecessors "Core" and "Purple".
Tiny Music is one of the most inventive, fresh & arty fun pop metal albums ever, and I'd bet serious recs that it influenced Homme in the making of QOTSA's Rated R.

I HATED this album when it first came out. I was infatuated with what STP had done with Core and Purple, and I wasn't ready for this shift. You can hear Scott Weiland's drug addiction all over this album. It's bizarre and disjointed. However, listening to it now, I see the quality. The boys in the band have never grooved like they did on this album, as they tackle more challenging tracks. It's funky and saucy, and yes, a little weird, but it works. Not as consistent as Core or Purple, but I'm glad they pushed themselves.

This is a good album with a lot of good songs, but it has this poppier sound that keeps it from being on the same level as the first two.
