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 has a Bayesian average rating of 72.1/100, a mean average of 72.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.8.

After 2 run of the mill 90's alternative grunge albums, Neon Ballroom follows with and attempt to branch out.

The album is uneven with melodic pop songs intermixed with rehashed grunge songs.

I prefer the direction Silverchair is heading on songs like Emotion Sickness, Steam WIll Rise, Miss You Love. These all point to the direction they are heading on the fantastic Diorama that comes next

They still aren't able to leave their roots with blah rockers like Spawn Again, Satin Sheets, and Dearest Helpless

This is 2nd best Silverchair with 4 or 5 keeper songs.

The album as a whole is a little unbalanced. The first three tracks rock. Black Tangled Heart, Miss You Love and Paint Pastel Princess are strong points on the album as well. Unfortunately, the other half of the album isn't very interesting. Despite their carbon-copying early on, I always saw this band as the bright spot amidst the post-grunge era that birthed the unbearable likes of Bush, Puddle of Mudd, Live, Smashmouth, Everclear, Limp Bizkit, Creed, Taproot, Nickelback, Pinback, etc.

The boys were trying... INstead of being carbon copies, they went for their own sound, and whiffed a bit. Mediocre.

Trails off at the end but has some classics early on. Emotion Sickness is amazing. Point Of View is great as well.
