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 7% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.3/100, a mean average of 74.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.2.

Fantastic album
Great album. Side B has a few less interesting songs, but a great finish with my favorite track: Blue Veins

Disagree. Worse than most White Stripes. An ok record that gets boring quickly.
This comment is beneath your viewing threshold.
Stronger than any White Stripes album aside from Elephant. Some great songs, it gets old quickly, however.

It's getting to the point where I'm torn as to which is more brilliant, this or Consolers of the Lonely. I love Call it a Day and at least five other songs here. It's a great band with Jack White in it, not necessarily running the show...
Great record, should be better than 38th in 2006
100 pts!

Underrated indeed. A little too short unfortunately, but an unbelievable collection of songs. Jack White with 3 other actual musicians is such a joy to listen to. Although I still love the White Stripes to death.

This really is much better than the level it's ignored here would indicate.
