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 is rated in the top 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.5/100, a mean average of 76.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.7.

Mark Lanegan's voice is absolutely awesome, he's my favourite vocalist. And the music is great too. The first half of the album is elite and could stand up against any 90s grunge album but unfortunately it tails off significantly after track 5. My favourite tracks are All I Know, Make My Mind and Halo of Ashes.

The interesting thing with this album is that there's nothing that's specifically unique or different than other albums from this genre. Nothing that really sets it apart in some original way.
Yet it's so fucking brilliant. The melody, vocals, song structure of every song on this makes it one of the best albums from this era. Outstanding and it deserves more recognition than it gets.

Just a fantastic hard rock album that's easy like sunday morning. Perfect for road tripping.

Oh come on! This album should be ranked higher. It's the last great album of the grunge era, in my opinion.
