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 53.0/100, a mean average of 51.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 51.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 27.4.

This was their big breakthrough, the album that made them famous to some and infamous to everyone else. They get ripped on a lot by people who make the mistake of taking them too seriously. I don't take this seriously and I doubt Fred Durst and friends did either. It's just a fun goofy rap rock party album for frat boys, and it's a good one! (Edited)

This album is a whole lot of fun. It's energetic, agressive and humorous, and also one of the first big time albums to blend hip-hop and metal. "Break Stuff" and "Nookie" are great tunes. These guys deserved a lot of the flack they took for their later work, but this album is rock solid. (Edited)

I still love Break Stuff even though it's super simple.

Nookie was a pretty big hit.

Their album art work is probably the best part of this record.

Limp Bizkit doesn't take themselves as seriously as their contemporaries do. They have more fun with it all.

Still not as good as hot dog flavored water even though the latter is way more silly. Here Limp Bizkit still wants to be respected as a band which is a big fail. They gave up shooting for respectability after this effort (Edited)

Ugh... How many people are embarassed by their tastes as teenagers? This band screams immature and hormonal pretending to be tough and conflicted. (Edited)

It gets a 45/100 for the incredibly catchy beat that is "Nookie" and Wes Borland's EXCELLENT guitar playing and musicianship. Overall though, not that much of an improvement Chocolate Starfish. (Edited)
