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 is rated in the top 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.8/100, a mean average of 75.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.3.

Not as strong as Rated R or Songs for the Deaf, but still a good rocker. Heavy foundation, searing guitar, and the coolest lead-singer of the 2000s... Geez, it sounds like I'm talking about an 80s metal band.

The first Part is really great but the second is just the band taking another direction. But what a First Part!. My second favorite of them

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.

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

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.
