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 has a Bayesian average rating of 71.8/100, a mean average of 71.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 19.5.

Decent riffs, rhythms and melodies. Much having an up tempo pop punk feel. I find this to be a cross between Green Day (but not as good as), and Good Charlotte (way better than).

Loud and ballsy, 4.75 out of 5.

Whereas their first record was great because it oozed out of teen angst energy, Billy talent II takes this same vibe but polishes in it all sorts of varied Ian D'sa's killer riffs.
The vocals also reached "maturity" same as Benjamin Kowalewicz's vocal chords.

No real low points on this albums neither, although its fair to say all of the bangers and singles are stacked in the first half of the record.

The best heavy rock album ever produced in Canada I believe.

Very good alternative rock/punk rock/post-hardcore/pop punk album. Best 10 songs average is 88,8/100 and the album can get very good 90/100. Powerful punk rock slightly similar to Green Day. Best songs are "Devil in a midnight mass", "Red flag", "This suffering", "Fallen leaves" and "Surrender" all 90/100, followed by "Where is the line?", "The navy song" and "Sympathy" all 85/100.

Maybe it's because Canadian alternative rock radio has played the crap out of these guys, but I find them like nails on a chalkboard. What do they sound like when they're happy?

Ian D'Sa does what all great rock guitarists do: makes it exciting to listen to just the guitar on any of this band's tracks. And say what you will about Ben Kowalewicz's voice, this band writes consistently great lyrics married to some ridiculously hooky melodies. Nine of the first ten tracks on this CD are all damned perfect. I, for one, will sing along with Ben any day.

Brilliant pictures for each of the tracks on the sleeve cover! They really do go with the lyrics and help put interesting pictures in your head. The songs, well they don't let down throughout the album. Highlights would Worker Bees and Red Flag.
