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 76.6/100, a mean average of 76.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.8.

Dinosaur Jr. were doing the alternative rock thing way back in the 80s, before the Seattle grunge scene exploded. Guitarist/singer J Mascis is widely credited with re-introducing the guitar solo to indie rock, and there's plenty of nice hooks (and solos!) on Farm. I don't know if it's because it tugs at all the right 90s strings in my heart, but I love this album. They just don't make 'em like this anymore. (Edited)

It's amazing. It's very simple and amazing. Songs like Pieces, Plans, Said the People, make me alive. (Edited)

This "Lord of the Rings-esque" album cover leaves me skeptical, but in the end Farm is clearly a better album than Beyond. Probably their best post-reunion album.
The best Jr. Album since bug. Fabulous.
