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 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.3/100, a mean average of 77.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.6.

This album reminds me of playing guitar, saxophone and drums in my basement as a kid.
This rawness, this genuineness, this emotion...this is what music is about.
A tricky one...
...but this album just reminded me why I love music. It cuts deep.
I just dont know. I - ... ya I just dont know. There is no reference point for anything like this. Daniel skipped the music part of music and jumped right to the message and the emotion.
Fractured and hard to listen to. I wouldn't have it any other way.
A brilliant, raw tear-jerker of an album by the schizophrenic king of lo-fi music and imo the best Daniel Johnston album
This is so lo-fi it's probably better to call it 'no-fi'. You can hear background noise while DJ crudely plays and even more crudely sings. Strangely, it works somewhat, and isn't as terrible as that combination implies.
Absolute quality. Johnstons a genius at work and this his best work of all.
While you were busy painting your masterpiece, a five year old sat down with some crayons and made something far more creative and emotional than your work can ever become.
Hugely carefree and highly imaginative. I won't be saying anymore. This albums fun. Go put it on!
Fucking raw, how the hell is this ranked so low? This man is a legend and this is his magnum opus. All tracks are killer.
