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 79.6/100, a mean average of 79.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 80.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.2.

My very First Beach Boys Album - it was a constant on my 8 Track Player from 1974-1977. Every song is a highlight.

Several song versions sound weirdly muffled like “I Get Around”, “Fun Fun Fun”. Listening to this album, it just sounded weird and when played against the original mono releases, this just sounds cramped and less dynamic. I haven’t read anything about this containing new masters? What’s up?
Stunning album.
One of the best "best ofs" ever. Classic after classic. Also eliminates the need to track down those weak, pre-Today albums.

The only Beach Boys album you really need. The definitive greatest hits collection, you start here if you're interested in Beach Boys music. Then, if you want more, you can move on to Pet Sounds, Surfer Girl, Shut Down Part II and the rest.
