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 11% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.7/100, a mean average of 73.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.8.

On the surface a one off album by a rock supergroup but as much as Grohl and Jones bring a lot of weight with them they are in the end nothing more than surrogates for another of Josh Hommme's bastard children. That's not to say there isn't any chemistry, they're clearly having a good time playing together but it's the leering prescense of Homme that dominates, like a man having an indiscreet affair with his wife's twin sister and loving it. In short if you like QOTSA you'll like this. Not as good as Rated R or Songs for the Deaf but then again not much is.
A ton of great stuff on this album, from the first listen of the first track, I knew I was going to really dig this album. I hope Grohl, Jones, and Homme find time in the coming years to do another TCV record.
Too badass for you. You don't even deserve this album. Neither do I.
I'm glad they enjoy playing together but if I'm being honest I'm much more likely to pick up and listen to a Led Zeppelin, Foo Fighters or QOTSA album. It starts quite well but I actually find this difficult to listen to all the way through, it gets quite boring actually, before Gunman lifts it back up.
I'm liking this record more and more. I honestly think it deserves more praise. It's true that it's not exactly new or innovative but is still awesome, the riffs are catchy, powerful and entertaining, I love Homme's vocals, Grohl is on the drums AND John Paul Jones is here. 'Nuff said.
