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 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.5/100, a mean average of 76.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.4.

Enjoyed the first two tracks, especially Mars For The Rich which is excellent. But after that, it's basically just the same song 7 times (with the exception of Superbug). Droning barely-intelligible vocals and over-the-top guitar on 2x speed - everything I dislike about the thrash metal genre.
Wasnt this genre almsot dead?
Great Album, yet another from Stu and company

Probably the best thrash metal album in 25 years.

Consistently high energy throughout without any real drop in quality. In fact, I think it gets better as it goes along with my favorite part of the album being the very ending. The lyrics follow an interesting story, the vocals match fit the music and the guitars are sick. This is my first real exposure to King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard but I understand that this is not their typical album and I'm impressed by their ability to make something as good as this without much experience in doing so.
Musically disinterested. fresh, catchy and funny like black sabbath first stuff
Good album.
B+
Never thought King Gizz would go for thrash, but boy did it pay off. Best contribution to the genre since the mid-90s
I cant work out if they are taking the proverbial or if this is a genuine nod to the thrash genre.

What music genre is King Gizzard? The answer is yes, and they have done yet another great job on a genre that some would believe was dead.

An excellent album about a very real issue — climate change. Well performed, doesn't overstay its welcome, and often chillingly poignant. The only gripe, and it's small, is that some of the rhyming choices can be silly. It's a small issue, though.
