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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 78.4/100, a mean average of 77.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.7.

Layered harmonies, strong melodies offbeat arrangements and instrumentation add to this psychedelic album. For best results "Black Foliage" should be experienced with headphones, eyes closed and mind open.

Clearly influenced from the Beatles. This is an extremely well produced psychedelic album. Some extremely catchy songs to be found. The Bark and Below It is basically 11 minutes of sound effects, but for some reason, I was never bored through it. That says something.
Truly a subversive album that takes the limits of psychedelic music to their end. Catchy and fun tracks littered throughout a sea of noise that somehow ends up flowing together perfectly.

Interesting and very experimental. Almost too complex to comprehend at some times. Not standard, but worth at least one listen all the way through
