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 4% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.9/100, a mean average of 75.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.3.

QOTSA are the kings of producing tracks of great rhythm and flow. This seems to be a bit of an overlooked album. Fuck knows why? It's up there with their best. Even the slower songs make for some of the coolest lounge music ever with Josh Homme's crooning vocals.
A dark and atmospheric album, no bad song, good to listen in one rotation. In 2022 in my opinion one of their three best ones. Good intro to get into the mood, some for QOTSA-measures really fast songs like "In my head" or "Medication", slow ones like, ok, not surprising, "The long slow goodbye".
A lot is said about the "best songs" and maybe in that measure "You've Got A Killer Scene There, Man" is a bit underrated in my opinion.
An album that begins by being a dark and haunting listen before slowly but surely drawing back the curtain and revealing the pop-centric and hook riddled middle set of songs. “Little Sister” is a particular highlight. It is then followed up by back to back six and seven minute songs ( “Someone’s In The Wolf” and “The Blood Is Love”) that create a tense and slightly eerie atmosphere all while using the fuzzy guitars to keep you slightly at ease. Overall this album is a really nice balance of hooks and haunts that puts you on the edge of your seat just enough to keep your intrigue.

Not a bad album by any means. Doesn't really justify its length but has some of their foot-tappiest songs

World building is what QOTSA is best at, and this album is the best example of that.

Um extraordinário acerto! Evoca o rock clássico ao mesmo tempo que aponta um caminho!
This album runs a bit long, but that doesn't mean the album is inconsistent. There are some really great songs on this album.
Favourites: Tangled up in Plaid, the blood is love
Definitely underrated. Not as good as the three albums that came before it, but still very good. Full of great songs like In My Head, Long Slow Goodbye, The Blood is Love.
My second favorite QotSA album. Very consistent with some of their most interesting and overall best songs overall.
A-Side is in my opinion much stronger than the B-Side. Overall, this is my second least favorite of their records, but still an overall favorite of mine. My personal favorite song on the album is Everybody Knows That You Are Insane. Little Sister and Tangled Up in Plaid are also amazing songs.
