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 88.0/100, a mean average of 86.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 88.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.8.

Brian forever ! One of the 3 ASTONISHING albums of the year 1966.
A very excellent album and perhaps the only of its kind. 9.5/10!
The best album ever
Brian really was one of the craziest white bois to do it.
it just makes me yawn. A ridiculously overrated album
The only work i know of them, but one of the best albums of all time.

It’s ok. Just can’t listen to this the whole way through. Nice to listen to on occasion but only in small doses. I find when I put this album on I’m ready to move on in a few minutes.

Will always be the greatest album ever
What a phenomenal musical display we are given on this release! Instrumentally, this is one of the most diverse and complex records ever created and that is primarily due to the pure genius of Brian Wilson. His compositions on here are so beautiful and blow me away every time I revisit this record. He creates this core on every song that allows us to glide through each track whilst he experiments with layering and nuances all around us. It is simply stunning when you sit back and truly listen to everything that is going on which is a difficult task in itself as it is so easy to get completely lost in the music on here. It just sounds so happy and warm when you experience it and you just feel safe when you listen to it. This feeling is primarily achieved through the stunning harmonies the group give us which would sound brilliant even if all the music was removed. They make the music more accessible as well with the harmonies being what most people remember when they leave the album. However, it is the musical intricacies and multi layering that has kept people coming back for nearly 60 years as they try to unravel this absolute masterpiece. Overall, this is one of the most influential albums ever released and it has the quality to back it up with every song being instrumentally creative and exciting which cements its place in history as a musical masterpiece.
