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 53.1/100, a mean average of 51.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 51.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 27.5.

Great fun, the fact it's so lowly rated is just music snobbery. Nookie and Break Stuff are classics. The guitar riffs are epic. Shame about the unnecessarily long outro track though. (Edited)

Say what you will about Limp Bizkit, they've got some grunt behind a lot of their tunes. One of the better Nu-Metal albums out there. The last 4 or 5 tracks could've been cut which would of improved it as a whole. (Edited)

Satisfatório, mas meio excessivo. (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)

Honestly? Not that bad. Some good songs found on it, and the band backing Durst is exceptionally talented. I like "Break Stuff" and "Nookie" (Edited)

Nookie and Break Stuff are my two all time favorite songs. The album overall is above average, but I just can't help overweighting a few songs on this disk (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)

Starts of strong but back half doesn't measure up...still a big improvement over debut album....It still rocks though after many years...ironically even though they were popular at this time and unpopular later..they later albums were much better. (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)
