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 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 82.1/100, a mean average of 81.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 82.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.3.

Yes, it is so incredibly good that many of the tracks are still ranking at or around 90.

If you've never heard this album, it's because it's by Ween. Just about everybody, at a certain point before this album, wrote Ween off as a novelty band (and rightfully so, at least for the early 90s). However, these guys are excellent songwriters, and after a certain point they really blossomed. This is their magnum opus, the album where they, having already distanced themselves from novelty status, completely cut off any echoes of it. This is Ween matured, and at their full potential, and it's really really good stuff -- not by just the standards of the band (which are fairly high anyway), but in general.

Atmosphere is a key element to this album, and is used beautifully in Captain, Zoloft, Alcan Road, and Among His Tribe. There's also fantastic guitar work on tracks like Transdermal Celebration and Tried and True. The penultimate song, The Argus, is hands-down the greatest thing Ween has ever done and one of my all-time favorite songs. There's something here for every emotion, and it's a quintessential prog-rock album no matter who you are.

Don't raise an eyebrow because you've never heard of an album before. If it's high-rated, give it a shot. There's probably a reason. (Edited)

This is one of the best albums I've ever heard, and I would have not discovered it if people hadn't rated its songs so highly. Hope it gets more recognition, and THERE IS NOT VOTE MANIPULATION HERE.

Again, I have not listened to this album yet, but is it really so incredibly good that that many of the tracks are ranking above 90? A similar thing happened on the Red House Painters' albums and I found that it was vote manipulation, so...

With its highs and lows from The Argus to the Fucked Jam, even if you don't like this album you have to admit there is no other album quite like it. Personally it's one of my favourite albums of all time. (Edited)
