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 5% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.0/100, a mean average of 75.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.5.

This record together with Soundgardens "Down on the upside" was symptoms of an era that was about to end. The newer era, Britpop, was already rising, and people were about to have enough of the harsh and dark metal sound, and prefered another more quiet and soft sound (Radiohead), when it came to music dealing with themes like suicide, self-hatred and pessimism. This record may not be as succesful as the "Dirt" and "Facelift", too dark and gloomy, and not enough of that freaky acid sound. Yet it isn't a bad record at all. The opening track "Grind" captures the ear, with a groovy riff and a sublime chorus, and together with "Again" and "Head Creeps", it has some definite classics. Sadly the record has too many weak points, making this a good but not great record. The biggest tragedy though, is that Alice In Chains (the real Alice In Chains!) with the early death of Layne Staley, never got to make another record again.
Overlooked and underappreciated, this album is very dark and grimy sounding, much more than Dirt is. (Edited)

The darkest, the sludgiest, the most hopeless of all AIC albums. Even better when listened at through the prism of Layne's degrading mental and physical condition. It almost needs to be this long (some say too long) to present to the slightest vivid detail the mind of a troubled and hopeless man. His last but not least masterpiece. RIP

A really dark and great album. It's long but this is one you like long. It beats the crap out of you.

Another inconsistent album from Alice in Chains. Dark, broody, and mired in addiction, but lacking the depth and punch of Dirt.
