Rating metrics:
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 68.8/100, a mean average of 68.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 68.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.6.

I can't believe the low rating and ranking of this album... I prefer this to their 80s/90s albums. Not a bad song on it (despite a slight drop-off in the last 3 songs), all great rock songs with awesome guitar riffs. My favourites are Just Because, Superhero, The Riches and True Nature. If you're a rock music fan, this is a must-listen.
Beautiful album!
This not their strongest record but it ain't bad.
The only Jane's Addiction album in my collection - good enough for me to want to hear more but haven't got around to it yet! Not a lot of variety but no really weak tracks. It starts strongly - the best tracks are the first three.

Nope. Without the magic of earlier albums, these guys just sound annoying here. (Edited)
