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 82.3/100, a mean average of 81.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 82.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.6.

This is what the Doors are all about. Jim Morrison was a loner in many respects. The late 60's in LA. these WERE Strange days and People were Strange. Girls were lost.
Moonlight Drive is Venice beach, You reach your hand to hold me, but I can't be your guide. Gonna Drown tonight. Morrison is dark, death was never far from his soul. I love the Beatles, they are happy and major chords. This is minors, this is loneliness this is real. You listen to the doors with a joint and bottle of Whiskey and bad intentions. Only truly disturbed people really really love this CD. It is my favorite CD of any band of all time. It never gets old, it speaks and makes Jim and rest live forever. (Edited)

great album!! maybe less masterpieces with respect to "The Doors" but I think "Strange Days" is more complete and all the songs are very good. When the music's over is something fantastic! (Edited)

Side one of The Doors 1st album is better, but side 2 of Strange Days is better. Strange Days is clearly one of the greatest albums ever made.

The Doors' darkest album, and a definite favorite. Best album by the doors and not one track gone wrong. Jim's poetry really strikes it hard on this one. The only other album where it is better is Waiting for the Sun, but this album has a better overall sound and feeling.

The best, most consistent Doors album. I can't understand exactly why they left some of these off their debut, but it worked out for the better of the atmospheres on both sides of the coin.
