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 mean average rating of 87.0/100. The trimmed mean (excluding outliers) is 88.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.7.

I buy this album because it was in battle with the Beatles album Sgt. Peppers Lonley Hearts Club Band. I can say that Sgt.Pepper has more influential potential. But I like the Beach Boys and this album is very good. Top songs: God Only Knows, Wouldn't It Be Nice, Sloop John B, I Know There is an Answer.
I've tried many times to understand what's so great about this album. Crystal clear production and two good songs -Wouldn't it be Nice and Sloop John B. The rest is mediocre. God only knows why it's considered a classic.
Great album!
A little over-rated!
Pet Sounds is certainly influential and laid the groundwork for plenty of great records, but in terms of actual enjoyment I have one word: meh
Great album, surf rock is so funny

How is it that every song is so consistently good on this thing?
The album that was inspired by Rubber Soul, and subsequently inspired Sgt. Pepper. Enough said.

Pet Sounds played a large role in the way I viewed 60's pop, giving me more appreciation for soft and simple music that was popular long before my time.
