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 81.2/100, a mean average of 79.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.0.

An album that took me years to be fully ready for, but I'm glad I got there. This thing is amazing. It's overwhelming and strange, but also beautiful and optimistic. A genuine masterpiece.

Disco con un estilo único. Pensé que me iba a gustar más al inicio, porque Peacebone me ha parecido de lejos la canción más agradable. Después me pierdo un poco en su estilo y las otras no me llegaron a convencer. En fin, como primer album de Animal Collective no me ha volado la cabeza, pero más adelante escucharé MPP.

This album is an immediate and continuous explosion of textures and flavors. Delightfully nuanced.
Another fantastic album by Animal Collective that really cements them among some of the best bands of all time. This album at times can feel a little strange with very out there lyrics and weird instrumentation but after a couple of listens you really start to appreciate both of these. The album feels so fresh and completely original and it is tough to think of another artist similar to Animal Collective that make the same music that is the same level of greatness as them. While there are a couple songs that aren't great, songs like Fireworks and Peacebone completely make up for that. Overall, it is an amazing album that gives you something new on every listen.
AnCo continuing on their upward ascent by turning to samplers, a far cry from the intriguing glitchy electronics peppering STGSTV. Fireworks is a masterpiece
Awesome.
Favorites: Peacebone, For Reverend Green.

I love the unique identity this album has
I think during the period where I was listening to Revolver a lot I was also eating a lot of treacle tart because listening to it always gives me a faint taste of treacle tart. The other thing is Columbo, as a kid I would watch Columbo every Sunday morning after coming home from swimming lessons and I would snack on garlic bread. Columbo tastes like garlic bread. I always thought 'Columbo Tastes Like Garlic Bread' would be a good name for a Flaming Lips song or something.
Anyway, Strawberry Jam doesn't taste of strawberry jam. But it does sound like strawberry jam. The textures are thick and intricate, somehow warm, fluid and metallic at the same time underneath a fuzzy coating. Digging deeper into the songs uncovers some brilliant songwriting with playful, almost childlike melody at its core. This album kinda sounds like tasting the strawberry jam in a donut or slice of cake someone put in a goody bag for you after their fancy dress birthday party when you're 8 years old. It's nice
