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 75.4/100, a mean average of 76.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 10.8.

“What's my penance? Five hail Wilsons and playing Sunflower on repeat for a day? :lol: Honestly, I would say I like the Beach Boys. I could probably make a playlist of 50+ tracks I enjoy from them, but they only have one album I go back to. *shrug* No, no penance... :lol: The point has been made…”

“Someone recommend me some psychedelic/rock albums from the 1960s that isn't within the BEA top 1000. I'm looking for something above 1000 but not TOO obscure. I already know 13th Floor Elevators, Can, Os Mutantes, Traffic, The Residents (but their Not Available album is kinda inaccessible, any…”

Beautiful and gentle, this rare gem from the late 60's psychedelia era features a distinctive organ sound, a beautiful female voice chanting in Latin and one of the first female drummers. A sound that resembles some times that of The Doors and others that of Jefferson Airplane and The United States of America. "Gentle Thursday" and "Velvet Sunsets" are just two phenomenal songs reminiscing Nico's signing from the first VU album.
