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 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.4/100, a mean average of 76.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.2.

Hüsker Dü manage to once again flip their formula on its head and make a great album in the process. In my opinion this is their best, barring Zen Arcade. Lots of great songs; Games, Makes No Sense At All, Keep Hanging On, Green Eyes, Flip Your Wig.
9.0/10
82-87 isn't 5 years, it's 6 years, count them. 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87. so it's 8 records full of "noisy trash-songs" in SIX years! it's interesting though how the lowest rating comes from a guy who comments like that, you know this must be good stuff! I don't know what the "unhelpful" votes were for, that comment helps a lot if you think about it.
Love "Divide and Conquer".
Favorite tracks: Every Everything, Makes No Sense at All, Hate Paper Doll, Green Eyes, Divide and Conquer, Flexible Flyer, Private Plane

7.5

To me the best Husker Du album and nothing to do with noisy trash songs: the song writing is outstanding

Side 1 is great but quality control begins to slide throughout side 2.
