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 7% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.2/100, a mean average of 74.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.4.

Still early and I haven't listened to much, but this is a stealth AOTY contender. Every song is good-to-great. Only gets better as it goes. If not Panda Bear's best solo work, his best in years.

Panda Bear (SG - USA - Feb 25) - Sinister Grift
28.02.2025
The most joyous and, in my opinion, best album by Panda Bear (Noah Lennox). In fact, it's probably my favourite Animal Collective linked album. From 'Venom's In', it's brilliant.

Calidad inmediata, top best AOTY in a single round

I highly recommend headphones. There’s so much detail, melody, and harmony to bliss out to. This album is already growing ever higher in my estimates. Venom’s In is stunning.
De belles melodies. Une des plus belles réussites pop du début d'année 2025.

I think he’s finally released an album that might just rival Person Pitch. Every song offers something to wrap your ears around and I'm really enjoying the gorgeous longing in the penultimate track Elegy for Noah Lou.

This is the poppiest project I’ve ever heard out of any of the AC personnel, and I really enjoy it. There is some subtle psychedelic production details that really make the songs pop out nicely, along with blissful vocal harmonies.
I particularly like how the second half gradually descends into a dreamy atmosphere, and is finally countered by Defense, my favorite song here. The transition into this finale feels so triumphant and satisfying.
The album sounds a bit like The Beach Boys, but with a contemporary tone and some delicious details...
In some parts it is brilliant and time will confirm this.
