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 77.4/100, a mean average of 76.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.2.

I'll be completely honest, I don't get why this is the top ranked album. So American and Sleep Forever are great tracks, but the whole middle part of the album contains a bunch of little hooky songs that get stuck in my head because of all the wrong reasons. Danger mouse certainly brought the best of the band out on Evil Friends, while Church Mouth had a really cool bluesy vibe to it. Hell, I even loved Its Complicated Being A Wizard's Kid-A-but-better feeling to it.

I love this album. This is an album that doesn’t stop being good. It doesn’t hit a mediocre note. It’s all good, it’s all interesting, it’s all very good and most importantly, it’s original. The singer has a cool voice, the guitar playing is really good, the arrangements are very well done, it’s a great album.

An extremely enjoyable blend of psychedelia and glam rock.
