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 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 80.0/100, a mean average of 78.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.5.

This is one of the more useless albums in my collection I guess. All their big hits are here, and if that's what you're after then it doesn't get much better, but if you have the albums then the one new song here definitely isn't worth it.
Fantastic best of album. Highly recommend if Soundgarden aren't really your cup of tea but you like a few of there songs. Majority of the songs on this are stone cold classics

Bleed Together is nothing special. Buy the individual albums. I gave this an 8/10 because of the quality here, but it's available elsewhere.
I'd agree with the previous comments. Also gave it 8/10 because of the quality of the music but buy the albums rather than this.
