Grading: CD - Very Good, Outer Case - Very Good, Inner Sleeve - Very Good.
However, the record does feel a bit filler heavy with the 77 minute run time being really dragged out. This standard is also upheld on a few other tracks so there is always another reason to keep on listening. All of them are aggressive and possess phenomenal guitar work and vocal performances and they really demonstrate TOOL at its strongest. The songs that really stood out to me on the record was the title track, Forty Six & 2 and Stinkfist. This is a great album filled with fantastic moments that you can enjoy every time you revisit. The standard deviation for this album is 19.2. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 81.6/100, a mean average of 80.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.7/100. This album is rated in the top 1% of all albums on. (*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings) The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation). However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring.
This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. Rating metrics: Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution.
