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 16% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.0/100, a mean average of 72.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.1.

Doesn't anybody see the sheer beauty of Waste and the jazzy playfulness of Taste: my two favorite Phish tracks collected on one album.
Meh. Middling effort by a band that sometimes phones in their studio albums. They are capable of much better.
How can this be higher rated the Picture of Nectar? Great songs on Billy Breathes...but still?

Free and Talk are my favorite tracks. The beginning of Prince Caspian almost reminds me of what it really sounds like inside of a heart (that weird sound in the beginning, not so much the guitar of course).
Well said
Criminally underrated album, really wish more people would give this and other studio Phish a listen!
