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 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 84.0/100, a mean average of 80.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 84.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 21.6.

I like listening to these 2 albums together as they are in this compilation, but there really is no reason for this to be on the charts.
Totally agree with jackbrown. Please, don't stone me, neither him, we are just being honest.
I do like doolittle, Surfer Rosa, and... Come on pilgrim. But... come on dudes, this album wasn't needed.
2 albums do not an album make, therefore gtfo the top rated albums. surfer rosa is already deservedly up here. down with compilations full of songs already on albums, help rate 0 please and thanks.

I can't rank Come on Pilgrim and Surfer Rosa separately, because that's not how I know them. I find that it doesn't sound like two separate works; there is a congruency between both, it's almost seamless. While most will speak of Where is My Mind (it is epic, after all), my favorite track is Caribou. To me, it is THE Pixies track, that epitomizes the band. So much energy, so much creativity. And for some reason, when I was 16, I really enjoyed the album cover.
