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 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 87.6/100, a mean average of 86.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 87.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.0.

An outlet for Roger Water's self absorbed themed songwriting skills. He's credited with writing most of the songs on the album which makes me wonder where the rest of the band was. A solid release however I wouldn't rate it as high as most of their other releases.

This album is definitely one of the greatest ever, not just of Pink Floyd, but ever. Dogs is one of the best songs ever made, Sheep is angry and catchy as hell, Pigs has such an incredible song. Both Pigs on the wing songs are ok but nowhere near as good as the other songs.
Really worth a listen to!
Funnily the Floyd album that clicked with me instantly
Che dire...la musica di 4 dei musicisti più talentuosi che il mondo abbia mai visto a braccetto con delle liriche che denunciano il sistema e la politica. L'ultimo grande disco dei Pink Floyd come gruppo e non come 4 musicisti che suonano assieme.
4,5 out of 5 for this very unique , almsot story-telling like, album from Pink FLoyd
Want to know what it feels like to be a runt fighting in the streets?
Sheep is a masterpiece ??
One of if not the most nihilistic albums of all time. A love or hate situation. A hard pill to swallow.
Very good record, even if I don't often want to listen to it?
