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 is rated in the top 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.1/100, a mean average of 77.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.9.

The last in a fantastic trio. This is the best in terms of consistency and diversity but has a more bland production.

In my opinion, their best album.
Really good album, one of Bad Religion's better ones.

Semi-automatic melodies for pro-active punks.
"Turn on the light" is one of the songs i found most catchy.
Hard to choose among the bad religion stuff, could've been No Control (1989), Suffer (1988),or Recipe For Hate (1993) as well
