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 75.4/100, a mean average of 73.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.0.

For me the soundtrack to the summer of 96, great times! Just puts me in a good mood when I listen to it.

"Saturday Afternoon, the Sunshine pours like wine through my window" - The Circle. Awesome lyrics!

Can't say this was really on my playlist at the time though other than the singles. It's actually a pretty decent album of the times but it probably lacks the personality of the bigger acts of the scene even though the songs are mostly good. The production is a bit nondescript. Better than a hell of a lot of Britpop types but probably sit about right as their reputation suggests in the pantheon as second tier.

Great pop/rock record, no bad tracks, nothing challenging.
