Rating metrics: Help 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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 78.9/100, a mean average of 78.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.3.

Not as iconic as FFFRV, but they are keeping the same high quality hardcore punk.

Masterpiece. Brilliant lyrics, joyous up tempo on crack tunes. I've had this album for over 30 years, still play it on a regular basis and it never fails to let me down. Only song that lets it down is 'Dead End' but overall one of the greatest punk albums. Ever!!!

A brilliant record.A rare case of full throttle, hardcore punk displaying phenomenal musicianship. And the songwriting does a brilliant job of giving the whole record the theme of a scathing attack on middle class yuppy existence. Great stuff!

brilliant from start to end ! very different from Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables, but at least as good. This must be higher in the overall chart !
