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 82.1/100, a mean average of 81.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 82.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.5.

If you ask me, this is their best. It's less focused on being a "songs" album and is more focused on being an experience. The first couple (or five) times you hear it, it's hard to appreciate. The tracks are long and kind of muddle together after awhile. But after more listens, each piano note and drum beat starts to stand out. It's an album that's completely devoid of any context or background, one that it's possible to step into and experience anew each time. The perfect album for falling asleep

This could be just me, but I feel the genius of this album is the way I can project a different meaning onto it each time. It feels like the emotional equivalent of a mirror, when I'm happy its happy, when I'm sad its sad, when I feel isolated its about isolation and so on. I don't think its possible for me to evaluate it any more objectively than that.
The content in this album is breathtakingly expansive, emotional and eclectic - but the concept behind it falls short sometimes. The moment the second 'half' kicks in which is 13 minutes longer than the first it's like saying "Okay, now that happy shit is over, lets got on with the REAL music". Maybe that's just me, I have a soft spot for the first 'half' and it feels a little neglected.
It's also a pain in the ass to google.

If you’re ever feeling a bit on edge, irritated, or like you’re about to lash out at someone you love, just pop this album on and let go.
I’m lying on a gently moving cloud, but it’s warm and snug and I am floating over ice-melts in an Icelandic summer burst of lushness. This is just about the most perfect eyes-closed album. It only rates as a 90 because I can never easily tell anyone what the album is called.
I think this is their Kid A
