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 58.6/100, a mean average of 57.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 57.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 22.7.

I really think you forgot:

Losing their souls in a material world..."

I haven't listened to this album since I was eleven. And when I listened to this then, I listened to the shit out of it. Then, I just moved on. I will revisit it eventually.

Very good punk rock/pop punk album. Best 10 songs average is 91,8/100 and the album can get very good 90/100. Best songs are "Lifestyles of the rich & famous", "The day that I die" and "Emotionless" all 95/100, followed by "Girls & boys", "Say anything" and "The young & the hopeless" all 90/100. All other songs good 80-85/100.

I have fond 9-year-old memories of this album. Though, my 20-year-old mind gives me bad memories.

"Girls don't like boys girls like cars and money. Boys will laugh at girls when they're not funny." Truly poetic...lyrics can't get much deeper than this.

I find it funny that a fairly lo-fi garage band named a song after one of the biggest hi-fi bands in history. Anyone else get my sense of irony?

On a related note, "The Anthem" is awesome. Don't diss it. I can listen to the Kidz Bop version and still get pumped up.
