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 7% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.2/100, a mean average of 74.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.7.

The two first songs are a prelude to an extraordinary punk rock album (the transition between those songs on the vinyl version is delicious).
The balance of the album is a bit more generic but there is some original and refreshing punk rock songs like My Life Is Over and I Couldn't Be Happier and Familiar Patterns.
Favorite tracks: If This Tour Doesn't Kill You, I Will, DVP
Less favorite tracks: The Coast, Old Wounds
