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 4% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.3/100, a mean average of 75.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.0.

This anticipates everything the Foos ever did and it gets bonus points for being the first album. At that time, no one ever thought we would hear anything more about or from Dave Grohl. The first three tracks are still unbeaten by anything they ever did in all the years later.
I get it. He returns after the death of Kurt Cobain. He plays all the instruments and is a one man band.
This is still ho hum average 90's alternative music if you take away the first three tracks which are excellent.
I think who he is and what he pulled off gives this album more credit than it deserves. The full compliment of band members to come is when this band rises to the top of the crop like cream
Extremely consistent, wonderfully raw and unpolished. A huge presentation for a sole artist to make such an album all by himself.
This Is a Call kicks the album off well enough but it's all downhill from there. The other issued track, Big Me, gained popularity due to having "funny" music video, not because it's a great or even good song. Very reminiscent of how Blink 182 were able to peddle their awful music while MTV was still relevant. The silver lining here is that, unlike Blink, Foo Fighters went on to make some very worthwhile tracks like Evermore and One by One.

This album was one of the rare cases when on first listen i liked almost every if not every song on there! It's super fun and Dave Grohl sings and plays everything by himself i mean come on isn't that something !? 9.5/10
