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 92.3/100, a mean average of 90.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 92.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.3.

The Great Gig In The Sky always does this thing to me where I lose consciousness and I start levitating around the room (Edited)
So good I based my username on this thing. Perhaps the only album that hits a perfect 10. It’s just so strong across the board - great flow, concepts, lyrics, songs, musicianship, experimentation, atmosphere, singing and of course phenomenal guitar. Even the cover is iconic.
And to think it all starts with a simple loop and a guy rambling on about being mad. (Edited)
Damn, this album punches hard every time you listen to it, especially with the tracks Time, The Great Gig in the Sky, Money, and Eclipse. While Wish You Were Here is my personal favorite Floyd album, it's hard to deny this is their best work, and the greatest album ever made. (Edited)
The music feels distant, but close, truthful and mysterious, the perfect encapsulation of the circle of life. My favourite album of all time. (Edited)
Much has already been written about this album, how it saw, probably for the first time, a Rock group explore mental health and societal issues with such a serious and mature delivery.
The inclusion of voice-overs by people close to the band, the sound effects, the powerful vocal performance of Clare Torry on "The Great Gig in the Sky" and just the general musicianship of the band make this a record that stands the test of time to this day. (Edited)
