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 9% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.2/100, a mean average of 75.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.5.

You never know what to expect from Beck other than something a bit different and very good and this is no exception

I don't have alot of Beck and really only getting to him to him in 2018 with the excellent Odelay. I find it hard to pin him to a specific genre but I do enjoy his sound. There is plenty variety of style in each album. This album has many great tracks and I look forward to exploring it more along with other future albums.

It has a few flaws but mostly a classic Beck album.

Probably my favourite Beck album. Very few weak tracks. And great layered production by the Dust Brothers. Full of quirky details. Best songs- Guero, Girl, Scarecrow, Missing.

1st Beck album bought on release but the 2nd owned after Odelay. I prefer this of the two but these were more than enough to catch up with his catalogue. He’s done better but a good listen. Perhaps three weaker tracks meaning an 85 for me.

I love the back to back Sea Change and Guero releases. These two are my personal favorite albums of his. He jumps a lot of genre territory here but it all sounds very professional and accomplished.

Scarecrow is a fantastic song. So is E-Pro and Girl

Second best Beck by my count. All of his releases are typically solid (80) or at least original (Odelay). Only Guero and Sea Change enter excellent status

Maybe just pips odelay and sea change as his best effort. Beck's most idiosyncratic album, seamless genre hopping.
