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 73.0/100, a mean average of 72.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.6.

Underrated SOAD album. My second favourite of theirs. ADD is brilliant, probably my favourite SOAD song. Innvervision, Mr Jack and Streamline are great too. A very easy listen.

It is not their best, actually it was never intended to be. Still their typical sound is there and some of the songs do provide a lot of fun. Overall, 55/100.

Love this album. It was the last one of the SOAD albums I bought due to it looking budget. Very under rated considering it was meant to be a collection of B-sides and left overs. Took a few listens to gel but I rate it up there with there others. SOAD have a very unique sound, so if you like there other stuff there's no reason you shouldn't like this

They are good leftovers from Toxicity, but I wouldn't say any of these songs match the quality of Toxicity. Maybe Boom, but really this is just an album of B-Sides, and it excels at being that. Fun songs and classic SOAD, but not special like Toxicity is.

Surely a step back from Toxicity, but anyway nice. Roulette is pretty but it seems so similar to Road Trippin by RHCP...

Good alternative metal/nu metal album. Best 10 songs average is 81,3/100 and the album can get good 80/100. Best songs are "Boom!" and "Roulette" both 85/100. Most other songs in the average region of 70-80/100, except "36" and "F*** the system" both poor 60-65/100.

I don't see how this is ranked so much lower than the other System of a Down albums... To me, it sounds like the same level of quality - better than the other nu-metal crap, but not mind-blowing.

I fucking love this album! Pretty much every song has something unique and interesting to offer.
