Rating metrics: Help 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 7% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.5/100, a mean average of 75.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.6.

Sound of 1967, so typical for that summer of love.

Some good stuff but lacking overall. It sounds like it'd be much better live. They utilize the studio efficiently in "Poem By The Sea" but everything else seems constrained by the format.

Il "vento del cambiamento" Eric Burdon lo avverte meglio di chiunque altro della vecchia guardia inglese ( per vecchia si intende gente di poco più di vent'anni che era in giro da tre o quattro anni… ); così lui ed i suoi Animals confezionano un omaggio alla allora breve storia del rock'n'roll culminante nella neonata psichedelia citando, direttamente o no, Hendrix, Zappa, la scena di San Francisco ed omaggiando con una riuscita cover di "Paint it black" i Rolling Stones.

San Franciscan Nights is the highlight with such a beautiful chord progession and sweet performance.

Overall a good r&b/psychedelic album.
