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 13% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.3/100, a mean average of 75.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.7.

“Grant Lee Buffalo Discography Ranked: 1. 2. 3. 4. They're all good albums but I think they really hit their mark on their second and third albums. As I mentioned previously, I rank Mighty Joe Moon as one of the best albums ever. If you've never listened to these guys, start there. Or, you can check…”

This album, their last, is the weakest in their catalog. It's still a fine collection, given that Grant-Lee Phillips is such a strong lyricist. But it would have benefited from the removal of two or three of the weaker songs.

Favorite tracks: 8 Mile Road, Everybody Needs a Little Sanctuary, Truly, Truly

By all means. Granted, it's not my favorite from Grant-Lee, but it's definitely their most accessible as it's a little more upbeat and has better choruses than GLB's previous efforts. Truly, Truly was their highest charting single.

I should get this album on my top 50. Great power chords and strong melodies throughout.
