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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 79.5/100, a mean average of 78.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.3.

An album of absolute supremeness. Fantastic from start to finish. My favorite of all Doors albums
A knock out Doors album from head to toe. Got away from the brass and strings from their previous release, A tour de force. Morrison at his most stoned and fearless. Opens with the bluesy "Road House Blues". Every song unique. "Peace Frog" might be the best song on the album. Horrifying Rock & Roll. My only question is why didn't they put "Waiting for the Sun" on it's namesake release?
This album meant a lot to me in my high school and college days. The band clearly had a lot of fun making it, particularly on Peace Frog and Roadhouse Blues, and that goes a long way. In my forties, though, it's hard to slog through the repetitive thump of Waiting for the Sun and the self-indulgent crooning of Blue Sunday and The Spy.
I'm not ready to admit this is a bad album, but I'm afraid it might be.
Solid album all the way through; lots of blues-rock goodness with Morrison's iconic vocals and lyrics. Roadhouse Blues, Waiting for the Sun, and Peace Frog are the highlights, but I also quite like You Make Me Real. Everything else is enjoyable.
This album is very different to their first three or four, underrated in my opinion as some reviews would suggest it's not worthy of purchase. I prefer the first side (vinyl), the first two tracks in particular. The distinctive Vox Continental sound is less prevalent and for me that was part of The Doors distictive sound but it's made up for in other ways.
3rd best album by The Doors. Very underrated in my opinion.

Almost a perfect album, but the final song just ruins it for me. A great departure from their original sound, but a great album nonetheless.
