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 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.2/100, a mean average of 76.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.5.

This was great stuff. Rainbow was my favorite track on the album.

I feel like dancing? This is some super-cool, wacky stuff. Love how varied it can be, like Tonto's plucky guitar thing, and the droney guitar on TIJ for the first half. Clean drums remind me of Chad Smith. Kind of remind me of Animal Collective and Animals As Leaders mixed which is great because both of those bands have 'Animal' in their names. Crazy. This deserves multiple relistens before every part can be totally comprehended.

That Math League finalist that has every possible medical disorder imaginable. The pills they're taking causes these abstract hallucinations: melting in their own equations. The stress just builds up with every round they win and the pressure becomes too much for them when the finals hit them and their success comes crumbling down.

The incredibly high dosage of poppers led the animated character to extreme hyperactivity and the occasional panic attack.

Atlas is the unrivaled Donkey Kong of all songs here, and there's no disputing that. One of the best songs of the 2000s in my opinion. However, outside of Leyendecker possibly, there's no other song on this album that keeps up that type of energy. Seems like Gloss Drop was better overall musically, but the general public seemed to be turned off my the lack of Tyondai Braxton to give a shit about that album.
