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 16% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.9/100, a mean average of 73.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.3.

This album needs more love on this site. Sure, its less adventurous than some of their discography.. but for me this album doesn't tire and is incredibly consistent. Oh and might I add catchy as f*ck without sacrificing the head-banging solo factor.

Good Album with some great songs such as Outta Hand, Mind Glow, Seemed Like the Thing to Do.
Too many average songs to be a BIG Album.
And I have the same problem with all Dinosaur Albums: The Sound is pretty much the same from te first to the last song and I´m often bored after a while.

The guy who lives in the back of is van wants you to smoke something. You do. Suddenly, you’re in awe of his lifestyle.
Great and underated album. Guitars and drums played by an inspired J Mascis, great production and clear sound.
Maybe too much great records in 1994!

I'm sorry you get bored. I never find this boring. Feel the Pain may be Dinosaur Jr's best song.
