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 5% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.9/100, a mean average of 76.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 10.5.

A good Pop record. I still occasionally give it a listen.

Wonderful power pop from a band that never did anything this good again. The two hits, "Something's Always Wrong" and "Fall Down," are the highlights, but there's plenty more to recommend, particularly the two openers and the lovely ballad, "Begin." paladisiac is right; they could have left off the closing dirge and I wouldn't have missed it.

Toad the Wet Sprocket is one of those perfect artists for the void left between Kurt's passing and "what came next". Tortured, introspective, conflicted and yet melodic, i'd consider this alternative album near-great if not for the over-extended, non-hooky closing dirge. If you want a good example, start with "windmills" or "fly from heaven". In "windmills" he delicately divulges: "there's something that you won't show / waiting where the light goes / maybe anywhere the wind blows / it's all worth waiting for". The drums are wide but hit soft, like a phil collins signature drum song muted in the distance. And "nanci" is a bit of chick-swapping fun that has one of the neatest lines: "I can't believe you / You bend your words like Uri Geller's spoons". "Fall Down" was the hit.
