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 has a Bayesian average rating of 58.5/100, a mean average of 56.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 56.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.3.

I appreciate experimentation. Most of this just comes off as pretentious to me.

Abrasive and weird. In a very good way.

Really disappointing album. Just a bunch of formless, fairly sub-par experimental music.

Not nearly as good as STGSTV or Campfire Right after it...or any AnCo, for that matter...
Way too much lofi noise, too many sounds past 7000 Hz, too many odd moan/syncopated sounds, it really is the perfect headache album. Huge bummer for AnCo, but at least it's interesting...
Best: Essplode (really, the only track worth listening here)
Worst: Everything else...

There is no way a monkey could ever type Hamlet, but I am pretty sure a monkey or at the very least a group of monkeys could create a similar album to Animal Collective's Danse Manatee.

Okay that was a joke and it was a bit harsh. I mean I must have some reasoning behind the fact that I gave this album a score above zero. My reasoning is this; Danse Manatee technically qualifies as music because it is organized sound. The songs on this album qualify as songs because each one has some sort of rhythm, melody, and harmony. Other than that this album is a primitive collection of scattered songs that don't have much to offer other than random interesting sounds. If you know Animal Collective and you're wondering how the hell anyone could ever give an Animal Collective album a bad review. Well you will just have to listen to Danse Manatee. Maybe then you will agree with me.
