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 79.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 80.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.7.

The album is a sprawling collection of 45 tracks that seamlessly blend punk, funk, jazz, and spoken word. The band's unique approach to songwriting and their ability to pack so much creativity into each track is truly remarkable.
Their punk attitude has an authenticity that some other acclaimed 80s releases are missing. This album made me into a fan.
The band's ability to tackle a variety of subjects with wit, intelligence, and a sense of social commentary. From political issues to personal introspection, the lyrics are thought-provoking and delivered with a sense of urgency.
I feel that this album is overrated, Zen Arcade is much better, but lower ranked. This one is pointlessly too long and although we have some hidden gems here they are buried in a ton of aimless tracks. It is fun, but the length and some tracks are killing the enjoyment for me.

45 songs and each song is different, creative, and unique in the punk canon. One of the great achivements of the 80s hardcore scene.
Every song jams hard
punky and funky
