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 7% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.2/100, a mean average of 73.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.8.

One of the most underrated punk albums ever. This is pure fury, which ends up sounding a little silly at times (the vials on the first two tracks) but is unrelenting. Sex Bomb might be the greatest punk song ever - horns are something that are lacking in punk, which is weird considering how great Fun House is. And really this is Fun House's more obscure little brother, which is a huge compliment.
If you like noise, this is the best you'll find after Sonic Youth (maybe Jesus Lizard, depending on tastes). "Ever" is the greatest 'fuck you' of all time in the simplest lyrics... and "Sex Bomb" is like a garage band trying to fuse "Sister Ray" and "1970" and IT IS AMAZING
41 minutes of Noise Rock heaven!
Please give this at least 3 listens before making a judgement, almost nobody enjoys it on the first listen. It grows on you like you wouldn't believe. I honestly love every song, and it's incredibly cohesive and surprisingly diverse.

"Life Is Cheap" is one of the scariest songs of all time and at times this album can seem to be almost unlistenable but when you fuse the sound with the lyrics it all makes perfect sense. Definitely an album to keep on repeat.

When you think about it, grunge was originally just a mix of doom metal and hardcore punk. This huge influence on Nirvana is the best proof of that. This album is EXTREMELY ahead of it's time.
