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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 79.4/100, a mean average of 78.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.3.

This album was nearly as mind bending for me as Kid A the first time I heard it. I had never heard anything like it before. The perfect mix of excellent straightforward songs and brash experiments still resonates with me in a big way.
Blur's best album for me. The one that made Blur an out-of-this-world band.
Very trippy and druggy made by incredible musicians.
Of all Blur albums, this one has always stood above the rest for me. Coxon's guitar playing on 13 is some of my favorite ever recorded. He generates in intense level of emotion to compliment Albarn's melancholia. Over the years 1992 has overtaken me as possibly Blur's finest moment.
Drugs, religions, foreign travels, none of them could suppress the pain of his broken heart.
I still can't get over just how brilliant this album is. Blur took a step away from the declining Britpop and instead turned towards more experimental and moodier music- and by-god does it pay-off.
One of the most underrated albums of the 90's- a "lost classic" if you will.
