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 8% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.9/100, a mean average of 73.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.2.

One of the greatest contemporary feel good records ever made. Nice background of their earlier work mixed with saccharine power pop that has a lot of heart with just enough frantic teenage dread and neurosis. (Edited)

There is no better lyric: I'm not alone cause the TV's on... yeah...I'm not crazy because I take the right pills every day.

Crimson and Clover, over and over.

The Sweetness

So much good... for my nostalgia at least. (Edited)

The lyrics really speak to teenagers in a way that most albums aren't able to (Edited)

This album hits hard with a few good songs in The Sweetness, Bleed American, and The Middle; but it is overall a pretty average album. (Edited)

Most people think of Jimmy Eat World as a one hit wonder but this album is very good start to finish. (Edited)
