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 75.6/100, a mean average of 76.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.3.

The heaviest album up to 1969 and even further, this sounds kinda modern in places, kinda proto shoegazing,,, Not bad at all. But towards the end, the numbness starts to take my mind..

Nevermind the previous comment. I think I was just in a bad mood the day I first listened to it. Some of this jamming is actually quite impressive and cool. I'm bumping it up to 4 stars. The singing and vocal melodies are pretty weak, though.

Listening to snippets of this album made me think "Oh wow, what a powerful, psychedelic sound". Unfortunately buying the album and listening all the way through made me think, "What a waste of time... these songs go nowhere interesting." Still, the sound is impressive, just nothing memorable to grab on to.

A great album to annoy the neighbours, and one of the heaviest albums in history. An incredible maelstrom of dense sledgehammer music. A wall of sound Phil Spectre would be proud of.

From what I can judge this is the heaviest album of the sixties. Also "Pushed, but not forgotten" sounds like something from a Red-era King Crimson album.
