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 4% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.4/100, a mean average of 75.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.4.

Kevin Barnes is nuts in his own looneyverse, as is the rest of of montreal. Their album satanic panic in the attic propelled them to my ears as a constant enjoyment in 2004 (and after). Such eccentricities can make for inconsistent albums, but on satanic, those eccentricities make for a rich, magic carpet ride of bowie-tinged psychedelia. With 2 claps it starts in "disconnect the dots", a very catchy almost-all-chorus acid wash of warm beauty recalling 70s peace, love & drug happiness. "lysergic bliss" false-starts before a chirpy guitar-line and barnes delivery floats breezily by with the same dizzy happiness. Almost every track will flower itself in your ears, from the harped-chorus of "will you come and fetch me" to seemingly-nonsensical choruses like "chrissie kiss the corpse" and the background harmonies of "your magic is working". Top tracks are "disconnect", "chrissie", "rapture rapes the muses" , "eros' entropic tundra" (pining undefeatedly for love, singing "All I ever get is sad love / feeling incomplete and below being loved / I don't know why it has been so hard to find love") and "spike the senses". There are no dull spots or clunkers, the closest you'll find is a semi-sweet ballad like "city bird", only because it's a contrast to the love party found on most of the rest of the album.
A more traditional - reminiscent of the 60's - psychedelic album than for example Flotation Toy Warning - another album that came out in the same year - but equally effective.
Not a bad song, incredibly playful. Disconnect the Dots and Rapture Rapes The Muses are both fantastic songs.
