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 18% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.9/100, a mean average of 73.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.8.

Animals is great
Without doubt, Eric Burdon and the Animals' finest album. A psychedelic masterpiece that resonated with the times.
Enigmatic, political and surprisingly experimental. The diverse song structures and Eastern instrumentals are a testament to this group's composing talents, easily overshadowed by their more radio-friendly releases. This is an essential piece for any psychedelic rock collection.

Favoritas: Monterey, Sky Pilot
This album is one of the outstanding masterpieces of the late sixties and Eric Burdon one of the era's creative figures as well as one of its greatest vocalists. Blues, raga and jazz elements combine to create a work that is refined musically as it is dark politically and socially.
