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 40.7/100, a mean average of 38.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 38.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 29.0.

Not my favourite band but this album has its moments and should not be rated so low. Because Nickelback are unsubtle and considered uncool, all their albums get unfairly lambasted. An average rating of 40 for this album is ridiculous.

Their big breakthrough album. Contains some great tracks and doesn't deserve the bad rap it gets from some quarters.

Top tracks: Never Again, Too Bad, How You Remind Me

Very good album. Best 10 songs average is 90,0/100 and the album can get very good 90/100. Best song ist "How you remind me" great, followed by "Neveragain", "Too bad", "Money bought" and "Where di I hide" all very good. All other songs quite good. Favourite!
Genre: Post-Grunge, Hard Rock

How You Remind Me was a smash and is a pretty good song. Never Again is one of the best Nickelback songs and one of the few to convey the emotion it intends. Stop hitting his Mom man. Stop hitting Mom's period.

Woke Up This Morning and Too Bad are pretty good. Where Do I Hide is a serviceable ballad.

This is the patented Nicelback sound before they started mailing it in with every conceivable variation of this sound on subsequent albums.

It isn't deeply layered music in musicianship or lyricism but it is catchy hard fun with a tinge of southern trash charm.

This is the Nickelback record to listen to before they became the machine they went on to become.

Here they were just trying to make the big time and kudos to them that their sound made it big instead of changing their sound to what was considered big at the time. That earns them a star for, gasp, originality.

Then they beat that originality with a wooden maul until it was so dead that it left a disgusting taste in the mouth of most of their fans I think.

"Never Again" and "Woke Up this Morning" struck a chord with men who had just been exposed to "Fight Club". We also get "How You Remind Me" here, which is actually impressive in its productive perfection, if not as a song. It drags though, and the follow-up records left Nickelback with the worst legacy of all time.

Better than Creed. Worse than 95% of music.
