Rating metrics: Help 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 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 80.7/100, a mean average of 79.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 20.5.

Clics Modernos es el manifiesto sonoro de una Argentina que intentaba ponerse de pie entre los escombros de la dictadura. No es solo modernidad estética; es el retrato crudo de una sociedad herida que necesitaba bailar para no desmoronarse.

Charly García capturó la atmósfera de la posguerra interna con una lucidez casi profética. Mientras las paredes de Buenos Aires aún guardaban el eco del silencio y el miedo, él trajo desde Nueva York un sonido que hablaba de libertad, individualidad y desparpajo. En "Los Dinosaurios", Charly lanzó el mensaje político más poderoso de la época sin necesidad de panfletos: una elegía sobre la desaparición que, al ritmo de un sintetizador, se convirtió en un himno a la vida y a la memoria necesaria.

El disco cuestiona la moralidad de una clase media que miraba hacia otro lado y la hipocresía de una censura que empezaba a ceder. Con Clics Modernos, Charly rompió el aislamiento cultural de un país que había estado encerrado en sí mismo, conectándolo con el pulso del mundo y recordándonos que la democracia no era solo una forma de gobierno, sino una forma de sentir, de vestir y de cantar.

Es la banda sonora de la transición: el grito de quien ya no tiene miedo de que lo vean caminar por la calle.

A mixed bag but on the whole it is great and is so enjoyable to listen to. It is short and sweet and really leaves its mark on the listener with some of these songs being stuck in my head hours later. The guitar and the vocal are the real standouts for me and make this album what it is. The guitar work is smooth and is pivotal in both building up the songs and in the choruses as well. It is also very well produced and has lots of layers of sound to explore. There are one or two tracks which are pretty average and could be possibly cut from the record. Overall, a fantastic album that demonstrates the quality of this genre of music and is so much fun to listen to.

Perfect album from start to finish. It was a huge step in Charly's career to enter the 80s and put aside his progressive rock / jazz fusion sound from the 70s. An iconic latin rock album from the 80s (maybe the best of all).

Charly is perhaps the most important latin rock artist ever and this one of his best albums, if not the best

A medular album, you can notice how Argentine rock and Latin Rock in general change after this album.
