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 4% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.7/100, a mean average of 75.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.2.

Very interesting record with a great sound but with some vulgar tunes that drop its quality a bit.
Really weird. Feels like the composer's bipolar.

This music did not give me any chills or negative feelings, so I must stay neutral, 70/100 is enough for this album,

I'm listening to their full discography, and I've just listened to this one. I agree it's their best and I like it, but I just can't come to love any of their albums. There's just something about them that's bugging me and I can't place it. I really want to love them, but it's not happening.
The best Super Furry Animals in my opinion(although i wouldn't argue against, fuzzy logic). It's a wonderfully ambitious album full of great songs and sounds. Hints of Elvis Costello on some tracks, especially on, juxtaposed with U. Other standouts include, run,Christian,run, and, it's not the end of the world. It's a fine record, underrated in my opinion.
Such a great album by such an underrated band
