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 83.4/100, a mean average of 82.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 83.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.6.

This is a strong record with great performances across the group but the length of some of the songs and the length of the album as a whole can make it a challenging listen. If you give the music some patience you will be rewarded with it taking 3 or 4 listens for me to really get into this album. Once it clicked it sounds like a brilliant psychedelic experience that is brimming with experimentation. This is one of the most experimental records ever made and that alone makes it an interesting and engaging listen. The experimentation can descend into chaos at times such as in the middle of Peking O but for me that only adds to the character and appeal of the sound. The performances across the board are fantastic and they showcase the musical genius of the band perfectly. Overall, this record will not be to everyone's taste but for me it is extremely enjoyable and is packed full of quality and experimentation that you can get properly stuck into.

Overall weird listen, some strange noises here and there, very experimental. Not my kind of music but I gotta aplreciate that Halleluhwah is pretty good.

Muy psicodélico. Suena bien pero se me hace un poco pesado. Demasiado experimental para mi.

A sonic journey. Krautrock's peak. What a dumb name for a genre.

This album is without a doubt a 5star album. One of the best albums I ever heard.
The best way to interpret it is to let go of yourself and let the music and story take you on the trip. If you can handle the fear in Aumgn and the insanity in Peking O, then you will gradually come back to normal life with Bring Me Coffe or Tea. But as it is stated in Paperhouse, "you just can't get back no more" to where you were before listening to this album.
