Rating metrics: Help 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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.8/100, a mean average of 76.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.9.

Some songs are a let down, but their sound is very interesting and worth listening.

In my top 100 all time. Saw them live in 1995...amazing show. This is a perfect showcase of their talents.

Superb elements, so solid on production but lacks as a whole, unlike the pill form

I love the idea of a band that's basically bass, drums vocals, and a baritone sax... in otherwords it's like a band that is basically bass and the low end that moves air like no other. Very cool band.

I'm torn between the amazing innovation of sound and the slight lack of GREAT songwriting. The songs are kind of only slightly above average.
