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 has a Bayesian average rating of 70.3/100, a mean average of 69.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.1.

This is a looooong record and it feels like it's due to the tracks outstaying their welcome a touch. However I feel like the musicianship is excellent. These are good songs which are expertly played and produced. Overall a really solid record.

This album is pretty solid I think, Stone is the best track on here and Lab Monkey and Breath On A Window are also great tracks.. Overall the last two AIC albums are both solid but they feel more like Jerry Cantrell solo albums.
In saying that I still really like them.

Uh oh... They made a crack about Jesus. Sorry, but that doesn't really change my opinion of this album. Easy to overlook before, easy to overlook after. (Edited)

I thought there would be a few bad songs on this, but I didnlt find a single flop! There weren't many hits either, but an album this good means AiC still rocks after 24 years! (Edited)

Overall, a surprisingly solid piece of work. A few of the tracks drag on too long, but the highlights (Voices, Phantom Limb, Lab Monkey, and Scalpel) more than make up for the duds. After a few listens, the album as a whole has really grown on me. To this point, one of the best rockers of the year.
