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 66.1/100, a mean average of 65.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 65.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 19.5.

Starts off really strong but there are some dire tracks towards the end that really drag the album down, such as Without Jah Nothing and Masterpiece Conspiracy. Highlights are Youth of the Nation and Satellite. (Edited)

With "Satellite", P.O.D. defined their unique Reggae-rock sound, which they fused with Nu-Metal to create something new. They were among the pioneers of this style of music and helped innovate it along with Korn, Limp Bizkit, and Linkin Park. They weren't the first, but they were one of the most prominent. P.O.D. combined so many genres, yet still managed to create a coherent and recognizable sound, and more impressive still, they made each song unique from the last. Some songs are better than others, but every song deserves a listen.

"Satellite" is another gem in that it keeps filler to a minimal while also putting out fantastic hit songs that I've had on repeat for years.

Good album. Best 10 songs average is 85,0/100 and the album can get good 85/100. But there are only a few good songs, namely "Alive", "Youth of the nation" and "Satellite" all 90/100, followed by "Boom" 85/100. All other songs average or poor, or rather not my taste with too much screaming. E.g. "Without ja, nothin'" and "Portrait" are really awful.
Genre: Nu Metal, Rap Rock (Edited)

Released on 9-11-2001. Definitely what America was looking for in a hard rock album. Lyrics about hope and faith in God - still with great head banging crunching guitars, and catchy vocals. With a rap/rock style comparable to Limp Bizkit, it was so much more than another album of that genre. It had rap, hard rock, metal, reggae, and funk all infused into the sound. One of my favorite albums in highschool, and it still stands as one of the best rock albums since the turn of the century. (Edited)
