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 71.8/100, a mean average of 70.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.4.

Radio friendly Pop-Punk/Emo. It sounds like the fill in music and soundtracks you get on MTV teen focused programs. There's some alright catchy tunes but overall nothing spectacular.

I expected a soulless mainstream pop-rock album, but I was pleasantly surprised. Tracks 2-9 are excellent. My favourites are When It Rains, Miracle and That's What You Get. Highly recommended. Forget music snobbery and give it a go.

Misery Business and Born for This, god damn they still feel so good. Otherwise I still enjoy this plenty, earnest but gigantic pop-punk very much of it's time, even if it often can feel a little too borrowed and cheesy for it's own good. Guess that just fits with the era

Excellent album which in my opinion is their best. Brilliant all the way through, with some quality songs such as Thats what you get, Misery Business, Hallelujah and Crushcrushcrush.

Even with After Laughter now under Paramore's belt, I still feel this is their strongest album. Their success can be attributed to the fact that Paramore knew which songs were destined to be hit singles in the music scene post-Fall Out Boy's breakthrough success two years prior. While the three hit singles are probably the strongest offerings on the album, Miracle is the strongest of the deep cuts and I feel a case can be made that it should have been a single as well.

Hands-down the album I've listened to most. "Riot!" is probably the only album where I could listen to any song off of it and know every lyric. There was a time in my life where I only listened to this album, and it has stuck with me since its release.

While it may not be the most innovative, "Riot!" is certainly special. It opened me up to the world of punk and rock in general. Thought I don't listen to it as much as I used to, songs like "Let the Flames Begin" and "Misery Business" always have a spot on whatever playlist I'm listening to. I learned to play drums by playing this album over and over and learning each song by ear and by heart. "Riot!" is the album I grew up with, and an album that will never leave me.
