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 has a Bayesian average rating of 72.2/100, a mean average of 71.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.5.

This album is a perfect example of when lyrics end up carrying the heaviest load. Very much like Cheap Trick's best albums, the songwriting from Art Alexakis is so strong that really you could have played almost anything under it and it would still be a pretty killer album. Personally, songs like I Will Buy You a New Life, Father of Mine, Amphetamine, and Why I Don't Believe in God hit so close to home that it's crazy sometimes.
"She wakes me up in the middle of the night just to tell me everything will be alright."
The album is genius!

When they weren't trying to be too cute or funny, Everclear were a glimmer of hope in a bland, processed post-grunge world.
