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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 78.7/100, a mean average of 76.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 19.5.

Not my go-to-Nirvana album and there are other greatest hits/complication albums that are better than this…but it’s a still a good introduction to Nirvana even if I highly recommend Nevermind or In Utero over this. You could do a lot worse than this album. (Edited)

disco recopilatoria con buenas canciones y You Know You're Right
A good compilation from Bleach to Nevermind to In Utero, and some nice singles in between.

It's worth it just for You Know You're Right, but if you're a beginner pass on this and get Nevermind.
One of the most balanced best of albums Nirvana could have put out.
