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 71.3/100, a mean average of 70.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.2.

“The newer version of this fits in line with the rest of BSS' covers so I prefer the one not shown on BEA Pretty much the same thing for this one, the cover on BEA is very different than the newer one and I'm glad they changed it eventually to fall in line with the band's aesthetics”

“Man I love this record. It’s like the ideal bedroom imaging album. I’ll have to go back to it like I did with Wondrous Bughouse not too long ago.”

"I'm sick of your tattoos and i hate the way you criticize The Smiths and Morrissey"

Best of it's genre of emo pop punk.

Their lyrics are a notch above other bands that they were associated with (Warped tour/Alternative Press type bands).And their singer's voice isn't irritating(New Found Glory,Panic! at the disco)

This is some straight up, no bs, raw emo Rock. 'Jude Law..' Might be the best emo Rock son of all time. There's a constant fisticuffs battle between this album and Tell All Your Friends going on in my head at all times. Honestly, just go listen to the bridge on Seventy Times Seven and try to tell me you didn't wanna just punch that kid you hate right between the eyes.

WARNING:
Side effects may include;
Death of romance
Uncontrollable anger
Mood swings
Impulsive texts to ex-lovers
Fits of rage (sometimes leading to assault charges)
And
Questioning of sexuality

Given how pop-punky this might seem in comparison to their later work, this is still an amazing album and my favorite debut album from any band. Glimpses of what to come all the way through, and Jesse's brilliant songwriting already showing from the first track. (Edited)
